The elegant and whimsical Hotel Vertigo is ideally located in Lower Nob Hill, just blocks from Union Square, the Theatre District, Cable Car lines, fine dining, shopping and many other notable San Francisco attractions. Rich in history, the hotel was originally a ;speakeasy; during the Prohibition Era and was the setting for Alfred Hitchcocks classic Vertigo. Inspired by the masterpiece, the newly renovated guestrooms at the Hotel Vertigo feature stylistic elements of the past beautifully play-off modern, even futuristic elements. Highlights include new platform beds, leather wing-back chairs, large work desks, horse-head bedside lamps, flat-screen TVs, ceiling fans, mini-fridges, in-room safes, iPod docking stations, cordless telephones, and Vertigo branded bathrobes. We are a pet friendly hotel though there is a charge of 25 per stay. The charge may be higher if the pet causes excessive damage to the guest room. Hotel Vertigo offers complimentary high-speed wireless internet and coffee/tea service in the morning. Valet parking is available at 35 plus tax per night with unlimited in and out privileges. Extra fees apply for oversize vehicles. Rates are subject to change. Hotel Vertigo is a smoke-free property.
