Bambudda LoungePhoenix Hotel Civic Center, San Francisco
How many hotels can claim that Keanu Reeves, Joan Jett, Vincent Gallo and Little Richard have graced their mattresses (no, silly, not all at the same time!)? How many hotels are the crash pad and launching pad for world-renowned bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Psychedelic Furs and Pearl Jam; and up-and-comers like The Killers, Bloc Party and The Shins? With so much creative energy swirling around you never know who might be strumming a guitar, posing for a photo shoot or just kicking back by the pool.
The Phoenix Hotel is a landmark, celebrating its 20th year of being San Francisco's world-renowned "rock 'n roll hotel." Funky, irreverent, and young-at-heart, The Phoenix isn't for everyone. It's at the edge of the gritty Tenderloin neighborhood. Its central courtyard is a true crossroads for the creative—a good place to check out visiting artists and entertainers, and a bit noisy at times. Our restaurant and bar, Bambuddha, is known to provide a high-energy atmosphere that can occasionally be more "bam" than "Buddha." Even so, The Phoenix has some of the most loyal guests in the world.

"The Phoenix Hotel has fast become the hotel of choice for the rock community, with a fancy swimming pool, jungle sounds piped into the courtyard...this could be your ticket to hanging poolside with the likes of Radiohead or Sonic Youth..."
Joie de Vivre Gives
Joie de Vivre Hotels is a grass roots organization that strives to have a positive impact on our community. Each of our hotels is dedicated to donating at a minimum $200 per guest room per year to organizations in their communities.
As an extension of Joie de Vivre Gives, each hotel participates in the You Can Make a Difference program launched in April of 2008. The primary objective is to engage our guests by giving them the option to add an additional $1 of their total bill for each night they stay with us. Guests are able to opt out of this program at check-out.
Phoenix Hotel’s philanthropic partner in the You Can Make a Difference program is H.E.A.R. (Hearing Education and Awareness for Rockers) where volunteers are dedicated to raising awareness of the real dangers of repeated exposure to excessive noise levels from music which can lead to permanent, and sometimes debilitating, hearing loss and tinnitus.
