Set around a lush courtyard, the funky rooms and suites with heated outdoor pool, a stylish restaurant and a poolside lounge serve seasonal fare and creative cocktails. Sitting at the intersection of the Tenderloin, Civic Center and Little Saigon districts, the Phoenix is an oasis amid the grit of downtown San Francisco. More legend than hip hotel, it is a second home to generations of traveling bands, a stone’s throw from the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, the Great American Music Hall and other iconic live music venues, and a cornerstone of the city’s storied musical past.
