Can't miss it!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/06/2005
One of my favorite spots to shop in S.F. is the area around Union Square. I often stop for a coffee break at the cute corner Cafe de la Presse. Hotel Triton is the attached hotel, and it's pretty impossible to miss if you walk by it. Crazy, colorful fun-house furniture sits right out in front and makes you think: what is going on in there?
So, I decided the next time I came to S.F., I would check it out. I doubt I'll stay anywhere else again! For the price, the style, service, and location is pretty much unbeatable. It's not a luxury hotel, but there are some luxury amenities, like Aveda bath products and a free wine reception every night, and decor is several steps up from your average bland chain hotel. The location is incredible, right across from the entrance to Chinatown, close to the Union Square shops, and within walking distance (wear sneakers) to places like the Metreon and SFMOMA. Or, just hop on the Muni a few blocks away and see S.F. like a local.
Although I don't have the guts (or inclination) to try it, they have a wild "So hip it hurts" package that comes with a free tattoo or body piercing. Only in S.F.!
