The most striking aspect of Joie de Vivre's first luxury property might be the rooftop deck's million-dollar view of San Francisco Bay. Indeed, the disparate halves of the city converge at this 199-room hotel on the revitalized Embarcadero waterfront. For corporate types, flat-screen TVs and a cozy penthouse-level spa supply the requisite convenience and coddling. For earthy types, lavender-scented hallways are lit by leaf-patterned panels that suggest forest canopies, and complimentary yoga classes are held in the penthouse studio. In a city with dozens of outstanding dining options, the Americano restaurant has itself become a destination.
When to go: December, when Christmas lights illuminate the shops of nearby Union Square and the palm trees along the Embarcadero waterfront.
Which room to book: Nos. 516, 616, and 716—circular suites with deep soaking tubs and panoramic bay views (doubles, $299–$699).
