Stanyan Park Hotel

This beautifully maintained, three-storey Victorian building on the edge of Golden Gate Park has been accommodating travellers in fine style since 1904; it's even listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The handsome rooms, of varying sizes and views, are filled with authentic Victorian antiques, right down to the drapes and quilts. Large groups may be attracted to the six big suites with full kitchens, dining rooms and living spaces. Rates include free Wi-Fi, breakfast and afternoon tea.
