Welcome to Hotel Monaco, San Francisco

This is the beautiful main lobby at the hotel. I loved the big snowflake projected above the fire place, a fire was going all the time. So pretty, cozy and comfortable.
This is what the concierge called the living room. Free coffee and newspapers in the morning and free wine in the evening.
This beautiful Christmas tree greeted you as you walked in. It was decorated with hot air balloons which were also painted on the ceiling in the main lobby. Dogs are also welcome at this hotel. It was clean, up to date and very centrally located, two short blocks to Union Square.
The main floor of the hotel and the restraunt was filled with great art.
The grand staircase. We mostly took the elevator and it was always standing open whenever we came up to it. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful.
This was our room. We got a King Jr. Suite. A little different than the room I originally wanted, but we liked it. The red rooms only came with queen beds.
The handsome husband matches the decor. Wow! Doesn't he look great all dressed up and ready to go?
These were the robes that came with the room, a little on the wild side!
The hotel has a great restaurant done in a grand art deco, french style. Murals done in the Toulouse Letrec style and these huge chandeliers. Very, very good food, we loved it.
Here is a better view of the restaurant. Loved the bunnies sculpture, it went up to a balcony and on the balcony another bunny stood. Very cute. Loved those mosaic tiled pillars, they were fabulous. I'll show you our San Francisco adventures tomorrow. See you then.
