The Lowdown
Nights by the pool at The Phoenix Hotel are some of the best ways to spend a summer night in San Francisco. Swing by for the poolside party season with DJs, cocktails and BBQ. Get the out-of-office on and bring your shades.
The Facts
Originally designed in 1956 as a Caravan Motor Lodge in the city’s Tenderloin district, the Phoenix has since become a long-time musicians’ favourite, with Kurt Cobain, David Bowie and Neil Young all counted as fans. A fresh renovation from Texan hotelier Liz Lambert keeps it just the right side of kitsch.
