Hotel One

The Hotel Kabuki. 

_C265833

Each room has a balcony, with a great view.

If you look really closely, you can see the San Francisco Bay.  And not so closely, this very large church.  Go figure.

Compulsory interior shot.  That really cool piece of fabric at the base of the bed, $80 U.S. C'mon.  We went shopping for our own version, made in Japan.  More expensive.

A pre-Herb stretch.  Who's Herb?  Herb was provided by the hotel to give us a quick tour of San Fran for orientation purposes.  Which will get its own section, don't worry.

The hotel was highlighted in NY Times recently.  The owner is famous for buying poorly maintained, but valuable, properties to turn them around.

Certainly catered to the Japanese theme.  And go figure, most of the guests were Asian.  Maybe not most, but damn, there were plenty of Asians.

Last lobby shot, last hotel shot.  We liked the Hotel Kabuki.  It was in a great part of town.  Relatively quiet, but certainly urban.  And an attached mall, the Japan Center, which was awesome.  Enjoy, jon
