Check Availability & Pricing

Hotel Information: Renovations to the historic Best Western Hotel California have imbued it with a playful new California spirit—from the welcome shot of frosty tequila offered at check-in, to the quotes about San Francisco that cover the walls. This boutique hotel is popular with theatergoers and Europeans, as well as foodies who flock to the Millennium restaurant for haute vegetarian cuisine.
Amenity highlights: Guests gather in the lobby each evening for a complimentary wine-and-cheese reception. The award-winning, independently operated Millennium restaurant serves fresh, imaginative fare prepared without animal products or genetically modified ingredients.
Insider tip: Even without advance tickets, visitors can get good seats at some of the city’s top theaters at the TIX booth, located in Union Square, three blocks away. TIX offers limited half-price, day-of-performance tickets for shows ranging from national tours of Broadway musicals to small local productions.
