Frommer's Review
Located 1/2 block south of Union Square, fronting the Powell Street cable car line, this seven-story hotel is in one of the liveliest sections of the city (no need to drive, 'cause you're already here). The Villa Florence provides guests a taste of contemporary Italian decor with cherrywood furniture, plantation shutters, windows that actually open, and perks such as flatscreen TVs with DVD players and CD players. In late 2008, a major remodel was completed, which translated to an upgrade in amenities for all rooms and suites. You'll like the large, comfortable beds draped in down comforters with FeatherBorne Bed dressings, as well as such luxury touches as L'Occitane bath products and Frette bathrobes. The hotel's ground-floor restaurant, Kuleto's, is one of downtown's most bustling and stylish Italian restaurants. That and Bar Norcini wine bar help make the hotel a worthy contender among Union Square's boutique inns -- as if the location alone weren't reason enough to book a room. Note: A complete interior/exterior remodel was completed in October 2008.
