Praised for its central location in San Francisco's Performing Arts District, the Monarch Hotel is seven blocks from the shopping and tourism of Union Square and one mile from the restaurants and fish markets of Chinatown. A symbol of the Bay Area's historic charm, the iconic Cable Cars stop just two blocks away, and provides travelers with transportation to many of California's culturally rich neighborhoods, such as North Beach, Nob Hill and Fisherman's Wharf.

Designed to serve as a rendezvous point for guests, the hotel lobby is complete with a fireplace, arched windows and a piano. A favorite among budget class tourists, the Monarch Hotel is recognized for providing excellent tour and shuttle assistance, but the most appreciated amenity is complimentary wireless Internet access in the lobby. Luggage storage is also available for guests whose traveling schedules necessitate such services.

Spacious and understated, the hotel's 101 guestrooms are distributed across six floors. Accommodations are comfortable with a traditional approach to design. Amenities include ceiling fans, in room safes and television with premium channels.
