Hotel Castro – Where Design Meets Iconic LGBTQ+ Culture

@andrewtourssf
Hotel Castro is the cutest boutique hotel in San Francisco and it’s perfect for pride month. Hotel Castro invited me to their pride party at their rooftop called the Nest, and it was such a vibe. There aren’t many rooftop spaces in the Castro, so it was pretty nice to hang out up there. The building opened duing the pandemic and they only have 12 rooms, each unique and features an LGBTQ hero. I love the cozy space, modern bathrooms, and most importantly, the view. If you spend the night, you might even get a complimentary drink or two at Lobby Bar downstairs and access to Daylight. So if you need a coworking space, just head over to at The Academy , an LGBTQ social club just a couple blocks away. Hotel Castro is such a nice spot walking distance to a lot of fun spots. You gotta check it out! 📍4230 18th St, San Francisco, CA 94114 #hotelcastro #sfpride #sfhotels #sfinfluencer #sfblogger
