Hotel Rex

Hotel Rex in San Francisco was inspired by the San Francisco art and literary salons of the 1920s and 30s. Vibrant and lively, its lobby guests you with distinctive period furnishings, walls of antiquarian books, and an exceptional collection of exotic objects, original portraits and murals. Even the art in this establishment has a story as the provocative large drawings of great American writers and artists in the salon. You will appreciate the clever and worldly nature of the Rex which allows it to be trendy without being overly pretentious.

Each of the hotel's guestrooms are decorated with custom wall coverings, fresh fabrics, hand-painted lampshades and the work of local artisans. They include an array of amenities, such as new pillow top mattresses, a two-line cordless phone with voice mail, complimentary high-speed Internet access, cable television, pay-per-view movies, a CD player, honour bar, mini-refrigerator, and writing desk. Hotel Rex is a 100 percent non-smoking hotel. Its on-site restaurant, Café Andrée, celebrates the diversity of San Francisco with its eclectic menu.

Located in the heart of the theatre district and one block away from Union Square, the centre of the city's shopping district, Hotel Rex is within walking distance from an array of fashionable boutiques and department stores, art galleries, as well as Moscone Convention Center, the Yerba Buena Gardens and the Museum of Modern Art. The Powell Street Cable Car line is one block away and travels to Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown and North Beach.
