York Hotel, A Personality Hotel

The setting for Hitchcock's thriller "Vertigo," the York Hotel is an Edwardian-style boutique on Nob Hill, three blocks from the cable cars and a short walk to San Francisco's financial district and Union Square's high- end shopping, theaters, nightlife and dining.

Superior King Rooms feature flat-screen televisions.

Non- smoking only guestrooms have tables or desks, wireless Internet access, data ports, safes, coffee makers, wet bars and complimentary coffee and tea. Dining options abound, with everything from steak to sushi just minutes from the hotel.

Guests can start their days with complimentary continental breakfasts, work out in the fitness facility and use the Internet access throughout the hotel. Today, guests can legally enjoy specialty martinis and a cabaret-style show at the hotel, where nationally known performers and up-and-comers entertain before sold-out shows.
The York Hotel was born a "speakeasy," a Prohibition-era illegal bar where bootleg liquor and chanteuses ruled the roost. Two miles away, the Presidio Golf Course is a veritable golfer's oasis. Recreational enthusiasts are within 10 miles of biking, rollerblading, boating, fishing, and sailing around the San Francisco Bay.
