Fodor's Expert Review Moreno Hotel

When they were reviving this art deco masterpiece, the architects ably met the challenge of restoring the 1929 building without disturbing its original elements, like mosaic tiling and stained-glass windows. The seven-floor hotel has spacious and sexy rooms, each filled with chaise longues, cowhide rugs, and big fluffy beds. The top-floor terrace has an outdoor fireplace, wooden recliners, and amazing city views, which include the enormous San Francisco Basilica directly across the street. There's a top-notch spot for food and drinks—Aldo's Vinoteca y Restorán—right next door.
