"Laid-back luxury takes centre stage at Le Méridien, an artsy hotel offering spacious accommodations and a residential vibe in the heart of San Francisco’s financial district."

Set in a luxury high-rise in the heart of San Francisco’s financial district, Le Méridien is a hub of low-key luxury with an easy-going, artsy vibe. It’s a twenty-minute walk from the city’s action-packed Union Square; though that distance may be a dealbreaker for some, it’s a boon for those guests seeking spacious rooms and a touch of peace. Besides, the surrounding area boasts an array of vibrant neighbourhoods – if your ideal exploration of a city means skipping the tourist traps and getting to know the city’s heart and soul instead, you’ll be well suited to Le Méridien.

360 rooms and suites blend mid-century design with a sophisticated, artsy ambience. This approach results in attractively contemporary spaces that are inviting as can be. Contemporary tones of crisp whites and steel greys are punctuated with bursts of blood orange to create a fun, refreshingly residential environment, and the oversize maps of San Francisco, that take the place of wallpaper, add an element of regional flair. Furnishings are sleek and simple, and floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of natural light. You can choose from either City View or Bay View accommodations – both are lovely, but we’re inclined to favour the latter.

San Francisco is well known for its vibrant foodie scene (hello seafood and sourdough bread) and guests can become acquainted with it without even leaving the hotel. Park Grill Restaurant serves all meals of the day – be sure to order from the signature menu to experience local favourites – while Bar 333 serves killer drinks alongside marvellous Mediterranean dishes that feature excellent seafood.

The hotel’s fitness centre is reasonably well-equipped, though you’ll hardly have need for it if you have any intention of exploring the city – and its infamous hills– on foot. There’s no spa on-site, unfortunately, but you’ll have no trouble finding one nearby. Speaking of nearby, there’s plenty to do both indoors and out within walking distance. Spend an afternoon swimming and sunbathing at North Beach, stroll to Pier 39 on Fisherman’s Wharf, or take one of the city’s iconic (and oh-so-scenic) cable car rides. Good food and artisan offerings abound in the nearby neighbourhoods which included Chinatown – about a 10-minute walk away – and North Beach Neighbourhood, which is even closer.
