If you're looking for a small luxury business hotel in the heart of the Financial District -- especially if you're billing it to the boss -- stay at Le Meridien San Francisco. About half the size of Hyatt's typical mega-hotels, the 24-story Meridien has a rather plain exterior, but it is a pleasure to behold from within. The lobby is lavishly appointed with Australian lacewood paneling, polished Italian granite, handmade custom carpets from China, and opalescent Spanish alabaster chandeliers. A magnificent spiral staircase leads to the upper-level restaurant, The Park Grill. Guest rooms, which underwent a complete soft-goods renovation in 2005 (including new mattresses!), are more understated, with Italian wood furnishings, brand new flatscreen TVs and CD players, large bathrooms, and exceedingly comfortable beds. They also have extraordinary views of the city, particularly from the corner suites on the upper floors, which also come with outdoor balconies or a Jacuzzi tub (a tough choice).
wherever it appears.
