Hyatt Regency San Francisco

Frommer's Review

The Hyatt Regency, a convention favorite, rises from the edge of The Embarcadero Center at the foot of Market Street. The gray concrete structure, with a 1970s, bunkerlike facade, is shaped like a vertical triangle, serrated with long rows of jutting balconies. The 17-story atrium lobby, illuminated by museum-quality theater lighting, has a waterway flowing through it.

Rooms are furnished in "contemporary decor" à la corporate hotel fashion. Bonuses include ergonomic workstation chairs; textiles in shades of gold, charcoal gray, and celadon; and coffeemakers. Definitely not a standout choice for shacking up.

The Eclipse Café serves breakfast and lunch daily; during evenings it becomes A Cut Above steakhouse. The 13-Views Lounge serves cocktails and bar food for dinner. The Equinox, a revolving rooftop restaurant and bar that's open for cocktails and dinner, has 360-degree city views.
