To the delight of theater fans, shoppers and all other vacationers, the centrally located Adagio Hotel stands less than three blocks from major theaters, Union Square's exquisite shops, and the historic cable cars.

From the 1950s style lobby, with its modular living room seating, to the globe light fixtures, the Adagio, one of the city's Joie de Vivre boutique hotels, exudes a sultry glamour, the quintessential locale for romantic getaways. Guests can work out in the Adagio's fitness facility, hop complimentary Town Car rides on the weekdays into the financial district, surf the Internet via high speed access in a lobby anteroom, and mingle with other patrons over tea and cookies in the evening.

The hotel is attached to the popular Cortez restaurant and bar, where Mediterranean cuisine is served tapas style. Guests will enjoy the date and mint crusted rack of lamb with garlic chive purée and olive oil poached yellow tail with shallots in thyme foam.

When they return to their guestrooms, which range from 375 to 490 square feet, guests can marvel at the city views from their windows, which they can open to the cool San Francisco breezes.

The guestrooms also feature Aveda products, low rise platform beds with pillowtop mattresses, high definition flat screen TVs, complimentary high speed Internet access, and movies.

In the bar or lobby, executives with wireless laptops mingle with European vacationers and California weekenders. Between visits, frequent guests can leave luggage at the hotel with the "I Left My Bags In San Francisco" service.
