Designed in the Neo-Classical style, San Fran's W rises 46 feet above street level in the
city's South of Market district nearby the SF Museum of Modern Art, a five-block walk from
Union Square, and a block away from The Metreon (the high-tech Sony entertainment center).

The lobby at the SFW is an octagonal, three-story space with tinted solar glass and flowing
curtains. The hotel is also home to the W Cafe and XYZ Restaurant, a bi-level eatery and wine
bar serving French-inspired California cuisine. The hotel offers the use of cardiovascular
fitness and weight rooms as well as an atrium pool, steam room and whirlpool.

The modern Deluxe rooms feature framed black and white photos of San Francisco leaning on a
picture rail, a glass water carafe by the bed, and an upholstered banquette for gazing out over
the city. All rooms come with cable TV, VCRs, pay-per-view movies, WebTV, CD players, and two
phones.
