Hotel Mayflower

San Francisco


Location, comfort and character at half the cost of places down the block. Built in 1926, Hotel Mayflower has a Spanish Mission–style cloister lobby and vintage cage elevator straight out of a Hitchcock movie. Guest rooms are snug and simple but ship-shape, with sepia-toned San Francisco murals and wrought iron bed frames. Rates include muffin breakfasts; parking is a bargain at $20.
