The Maxwell Hotel

INDEPENDENT REVIEW BY ULTIMATEHOTELS.COM STAFF

The Maxwell Hotel is an Art Deco masterpiece ideally situated in the heart of San Francisco’s theater district.

With deep red curtains topped by striped valances and a rich palette of reds, golds and greens coloring its velvet- and brocade-upholstered furnishings, the lobby of the original 1908 structure makes a dramatic first impression.

A blend of classic and contemporary design continues this look in the handsome 153 guest rooms and suites. Edward Hopper reproductions set a dramatic tone sustained by an array of subdued velvets and brocades in stripes and prints. Guest rooms are appointed with comfortable furnishings, writing desks, hand-painted lamps and luxurious pillows. Baths feature boldly tiled pedestal sinks with 1920’s-style porcelain fixtures. The top floor’s Grand Terrace Penthouse Suite includes two full baths and a kitchenette and opens onto a large rooftop deck.

The Maxwell Hotel prides itself on its family-friendly environment, a commitment evident in Max's on the Square, where diners savor delicious, New York deli-style cuisine in a family-friendly atmosphere.

Guests will appreciate the hotel’s convenient location within walking distance of such landmarks as Union Square, the Moscone Convention Center and the Museum of Modern Art.
