Hotel Whitcomb
$-$$, Civic Center
Fodor's Review:
This historic hotel (formerly the Ramada Plaza) was built in 1910 and served as the temporary seat of city government from 1912 to 1915, before opening as a hotel in 1916. (What was the mayor's office now serves as the hotel's administrative offices and the jail cells are still intact in the hotel basement.) The elegant lobby boasts marble balustrades and columns, carved wooden ceilings, rare Janesero paneling, Austrian crystal chandeliers, and Tiffany stained glass. The ballroom is one of the largest parquet dance floors in the city. Civic Center MUNI and BART and the main public library are right out the front entrance, and the Asian Art Museum, government offices (city, federal, and state), Opera House, and Davies Symphony Hall and Westfield Centre are all close by. Northeast corner suites offer views down Market Street and across to City Hall.
