White Swan Inn

Top choice in San Francisco


Imagine a Nob Hill socialite had a fling with English gentry: there you have romantic White Swan. Each room has its own eccentric English character – cabbage-rose wallpaper, terrier portraits, mod lamps, fireplaces – without sacrificing Californian creature comforts: soaking tubs, pillow-top beds, gourmet pizza delivery. Don't miss high tea in Christian Lacroix wingback lounge chairs, or fireside yoga in the library (yes, really).
