San Francisco Proper Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels

A neighborhood beacon for the new energy coursing through San Franciscos Mid-Market area, San Francisco Proper Hotel resides in a beloved flatiron building that was built in 1904 by the citys pioneer of lavish Beaux-Arts architecture, Albert Pissis. Inspired by the citys and buildings past, interior designer Kelly Wearstler takes a warm, romantic approach to the design of the 131-room hotel by combining a happy pastiche of deep colors, rich textures, classic design pieces, found vintage furniture, and local artworks from emerging talent. The hotels three restaurants off the lobby are also connected to the pulse of the neighborhood. A flowing social space, the Villon restaurant serves contemporary American cuisine.
