The Hotel Rex in Union Square was inspired by the San Francisco art and literary salons of the 1920's and 30's. Vibrant and alive, the clubby lobby surrounds guests with distinctive period furnishings, walls of antiquarian books, and an exceptional collection of exotic objects and original portraits and murals. Literary events regularly unfold in the lobby bar, and the hotel's new Cafe is an enchanting blend of a Northern California cafe and authentic French bistro. The San Francisco hotel’s guest rooms are decorated in a palate of Provencal colors and feature the work of local artisans as well as an impressive menu of modern amenities. The Hotel Rex near Union Square in San Francisco has recently reopened after completing its spectacular million-dollar renovation.
