Hotel Palomar

The Kimpton Group's most refined downtown property occupies the top five floors of a refurbished 1907 landmark office building, where fashion models and musicians mingle freely with ordinary folks. The Art Deco-inspired interior designed by Cheryl Rowley features rooms with an updated twist on 1930s modern design -- artful, understated textural elements such as emerald-tone velvets, fine woods, and raffia. Tailored lines and rich textures throughout lend a sophisticated, fresh aspect to the overall air of elegance. Rooms, however, can range from very cozy (read: small) to soothingly spacious (try for a corner room overlooking Market St.). There's not much in the way of public spaces, but the hotel makes up for it with a delicious air of exclusivity (there's even a private back entrance for celebrities). Its dining room, the Fifth Floor Restaurant, is one of the most well-regarded restaurants in town. If you want the full-blown luxury hotel experience, however, you're better off with one of the Nob Hill or Union Square big boys.
