Welcome to\u00a0The Laurel Inn<\/a>, where that funky, spirited vibe that is 100% San Francisco meets a hint of cozy mid-century elegance.<\/p>\n

\"\"
A typical City View King room at The Laurel Inn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Somehow, this Pacific Heights gem manages to pull off statement pieces like subtly shiny, subtly retro wallpaper and crushed-velvet armchairs in bright shades of turquoise. The decor at The Laurel Inn is clean, bright, and colorful, yet it maintains a style of understated sophistication that is uniquely its own.<\/p>\n

Fresh out of renovations, little Laurel Inn has claimed a place among the most desired accommodations in San Francisco. It’s centrally located yet a peaceful retreat from the grittiness of the city, and it seems that every detail has been considered in creating a space that’s both welcoming and fun.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Welcome to The Laurel Inn!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
I loved this colorful little vignette in our room.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With ultra-hospitable touches like lavender lemonade and just-baked cookies in the lobby every afternoon, it’s no wonder why The Laurel Inn hosts a good deal of repeat visitors. They’ve even partnered with Books Inc<\/a>\u00a0(a well-known independent bookseller just a few blocks away) to create a hotel book club, providing guests with a new bestselling read each month. That’s a quick way to make devoted patrons out of bookworms like me!<\/p>\n

\"\"
Tea, coffee, and books available 24\/7. What more do you need?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Of course, the comfy-classy feel of The Laurel Inn extends all the way down to the littlest details–like the full-size Jonathan Adler toiletries in all of the bathrooms. Let me just say that I thoroughly enjoyed the lingering post-shower scent of citrus and sandalwood as I lounged, pampered and blissful, in one of the fluffiest hotel bathrobes I’ve encountered yet.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Perhaps it’s a good thing they’re over travel-size, or those bottles may have found their way into my carry-on…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Look how comfy that bed is! Can you blame me for taking a night off from San Francisco’s chilly streets?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If letting off steam in attire that’s a bit more presentable than a bathrobe is more your speed, plan for happy hour at the on-site Swank Cocktail Bar & Lounge<\/a>. In keeping with San Francisco’s city-wide commemoration of the\u00a0Summer of Love<\/a>, Swank had a special menu of craft cocktails on offer during my stay with names like Hippy Hill and Jerry Garcia’s Electric Kool-Ade.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Swank is great for craft cocktails and light bites<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In line with San Francisco’s penchant for inclusivity, even your fuzzy friends are welcome here! The Laurel Inn offers special pet-pampering packages in collaboration with a pet store located next door, and the Presidio streets surrounding The Laurel Inn are hilly but inviting–perfect for meandering strolls with your four-legged sidekick.<\/p>\n

\"\"
It’s all in the details at The Laurel Inn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And, lastly, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the killer city views from many of The Laurel Inn’s rooms. If you’re at all familiar with San Francisco, you know that the city’s universal appeal means that there’s a lot of people vying for the little bit of space available on this 7-mile-by-7-mile peninsula. Sprawling windows looking out over the rooftops of San Francisco are uncommon at best, but there’s a concentration of them at The Laurel Inn–and on days when Karl the Fog<\/a> is away on vacation, you can see all the way to a little blue strip of the San Francisco Bay.<\/p>\n

The Laurel Inn promises a pleasant stay in the heart of San Francisco, providing travelers the comforts of home with a distinctly Californian flair. If you appreciate a well designed hotel with a love for the little things–or if you’re just in it for the chocolate chip cookies and dog-friendly rooms–The Laurel Inn is the place for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
