San Francisco

We will be traveling to San Francisco in May and are beginning the great hotel search. The W is usually our hotel of choice (by default), but has proven to be unavailable for our spring travel dates. We've discovered another interesting boutique hotel chain, Joie De Vivre (Joy of Life) a California based chain. The hotels are designed around themes specific to their location and offer some interesting rooms reminiscent of dorm room living, when design was minimal but largely effective. We have our eye on The Good Hotel, pictured below, as it's in the area of San Fran where we'll be spending most of our time. Check out a few other cool JDV hotels below.
