Villa Florence

With a coveted location just off Union Square this boutique style hotel is a hidden gem, attracting return visitors again and again with its understated finesse. Great shopping is on your doorstep as is the Powell St cable car stop, from where the iconic cable cars whisk passengers over Nob Hill and on towards Fisherman’s Wharf. From the moment guests step into the lobby they are welcomed by the delicate Italian stylings that define this hotel, from the oversized mirrors and long, draping curtains to the beautiful trompe l’oeil painting at the far end of the corridor. The hotel is also home to Kuleto’s, a friendly neighbourhood restaurant specialising in northern Italian cuisine. Bar Norcini, in the hotel lobby, serves light bites and is the perfect place to meet for a drink before a night on the town. Rooms continue the sophisticated, Mediterranean ambiance with light tones that are offset by touches of vibrant colour, and floral details sitting next to rich leather and polished brass.
