The Prescott ( a Kimpton Hotel ) enjoys a central location on Post Street in the heart of Union Square, convenient to high end shopping, the Moscone Convention Center and the cable cars to Fisherman's Wharf. For the musically inclined, the hotel is around the corner from Ruby Skye and Biscuits & Blues, where rising stars test their acts before going national. Jam sessions of the musical kind are big at the B&B.

Travel & Leisure Magazine recently named this hotel as one of its "Best Value Hotels" and one of the top 50 in North America.

To the delight of the culinary inclined, the hotel is home to Wolfgang Puck's restaurant, Postrio. Robert Rauchenberg's paintings, Dale Chihuly's glass sculptures, swirling copper and marble ribbons and the oh so glamorous crowds set the state for pure Puck: sautéed sea scallops with ginger pineapple and jalapeno vinaigrette, and roasted liberty duck breast with mille feuille of curried peaches, among other yummy delights. Throughout the hotel, guests can indulge in wireless high speed Internet surfing, complimentary coffee and tea in the mornings, evening receptions in the living room, morning sedan rides to downtown and weekday newspapers. The hotel also offers a state of the art fitness facility.

Guestrooms feature custom cherry wood furniture, crisp Italian linens, black granite nightstands, CD players and terrycloth robes. "Dress for Success" amenities include special toiletries and hair care products, collar stays, cuff links, manicure supplies, tweezers and nail files. The Prescott, a member of the Kimpton Hotel company, is a destination unto itself for many guests, including entertainment moguls and touring authors, who, along with vacationers, are attracted to Puck's Postrio and nearby theaters and nightclubs
