A Hidden Gem in the Middle of the City

This spot is all about intention. From the moment you step into the serene lobby with its warm wood tones, curated art, and koi pond vibes, the chaos of the city feels miles away.
Rooms are designed with calm in mind — think sliding shoji doors, spa-inspired bathrooms, soaking tubs, and cozy textures that make you want to wrap yourself in a robe and scroll absolutely nothing.
There’s even a peaceful garden courtyard that feels like a secret — perfect for sipping your morning matcha or catching a slow sunrise.

Things to Know Before You Zen Out

• It’s a short walk to cool spots in Fillmore and Hayes Valley, so come hungry and curious.

• The bar downstairs, The Bar at Hotel Kabuki, serves up cocktails with Japanese twists — yuzu margaritas? Yes, please.
• Bonus: If you’re a design nerd, you’ll obsess over the moody lighting, thoughtful textures, and clean architectural lines.
