The Argent Hotel

INDEPENDENT REVIEW BY ULTIMATEHOTELS.COM STAFF

Towering 36 stories above the city skyline, the elegant Argent Hotel offers the ultimate “room with a view.”

While known primarily as a business traveler’s hotel due to its size and location near San Francisco’s Convention Center, The Argent Hotel will please any traveler appreciative of surroundings that incorporate a sophisticated blend of art and design.

A grand marble foyer opens into the hotel's elegant lobby, which encompasses giant woodwork columns, gold leaf domes and an impressive collection of more than thirty pieces of original art, including works by David Hockney and Roy Lichtenstein.

The 667 guest rooms and suites are bright and airy with floor-to-ceiling windows offering superb views of the bay from the upper floors. Decorated in warm, tasteful colors, each is appointed with modern maple furnishings, comfortable chairs with ottomans and attractive bed coverings with upholstered headboards.

After a day of meetings or a stroll through the nearby San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, relax with a cocktail in the Jester’s Lounge, then enjoy live jazz at night surrounded by original works of art in a swanky and sophisticated martini-bar setting offering comfortable, plush couches and a warm fireplace.
