Bambudda LoungePhoenix Hotel The Experience Civic Center, San Francisco
No San Francisco hotel taps you into the vibe of this great city better than The Phoenix. There are lots of local hotels that strive to be hip, but there's no hotel with more of that "San Francisco cool" attitude than this one.
Whether it's the on-site Bambuddha Lounge with its stylish and holistic ambience, or the fact that our colorful front desk staff (who wouldn't be caught dead at the front desk of a Ritz-Carlton) is truly knowledgeable about the city's hidden treasures - including a party tonight that might just be right for you, The Phoenix is your way of getting connected with what's going on locally.
Artistic Urban Oasis
How many San Francisco hotels offer you an outdoor swimming pool in which you can celebrate art? The landmark mural at the bottom of the pool by artist Francis Forlenza ("My Fifteen Minutes"), the sculptures throughout the courtyard, and the original art in all the guest rooms make for an artistic fantasyland surrounded by a classic 1950's motel. It's surreal, especially with the piped-in birds chirping during the day and frogs and crickets at night.
Here are a few suggestions to enhance your experience while staying with us.

Bambuddha Lounge, located in the courtyard of the hip and funky Phoenix Hotel, draws on Filipino, Balinese and Thai influences to combine Miami heat and San Francisco style.
