Among San Francisco's small boutique hotels, this is a top contender. Ideally situated on the historic waterfront and steps from the heart of the Financial District and Ferry Building Marketplace, the Griffon is impeccably outfitted with a soothing design sensibility. Completely renovated in 2007, it boasts contemporary features such as 32-inch flatscreen TVs, lofty ceilings, marble vanities, Aveda bath products, cozy window seats, and plush bedding (really, this place is smooth). Be sure to request a bay-view room overlooking the Bay Bridge -- the added perks and view make it well worth the extra cost. Smokers, book a room elsewhere -- there's no puffing allowed here.
Facilities: Restaurant; access to large health club and pool next door (for a fee); concierge; morning car service to downtown; secretarial services; limited room service; in-room massage; laundry service; dry cleaning; free wireless Internet access in lobby and restaurant.
