Salamanca Wharf Hotel

Filling a gap between historic sandstone ordnance stores just east of Salamanca Pl, these 22 slick studios and one-bedroom apartments offer nifty kitchens, cool Antarctic photos and an unbeatable location (though views are mixed). Units at the front have balconies; those at the back have baths. Penthouse suites are also available (from $395) and there's a cool cafe downstairs.
