The Serenity Suite
Chic Lobby
Hotel Spero is a boutique hotel in downtown San Francisco with lots of style & character. The hotel was built in 1923 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in San Francisco in 1998. The hotel went though a major renovation and and reopened as Hotel Spero on Earth Day, 4/22/2018. It has San Francisco style blended with the historical Spanish Colonial design that has been preserved for decades. I enjoyed viewing the hand painted ceiling beams and original marble floors in the lobby. The hotel is just steps away from Union Square and the cable car stop. Another plus is that it’s pet friendly!
Spero means hope and Hotel Spero aims to embed this hope and positivity through little touches throughout each guests stay. Eco-conscious practices are used and include reusable water bottles, water refill stations, and soap recycling. The hotel also provides BeeKind skin-friendly and recyclable bath amenities for guests.
I stayed in the hotel’s Serenity Suite and it’s the perfect place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of the city. There is a nature-inspired color palate mixed with rich and bold color. There is a heavy play on geometric patterns in the bedroom design and they add a fun vibe to the space. Some of my favorite details of the suite include the bed’s cool geometric headboard, vintage trunk nightstand, and air plants. It was very spacious and the windows let in plenty of light.
I enjoyed the hotel’s amenities that include a 24 hour state-of-the-art fitness center, Jaspers’s Corner Tap & Kitchen, and Jarvis’ Corner co-working space. Jasper’s Corner Tap & Kitchen is a casual restaurant serving American food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It includes many televisions, making it a popular spot to watch sports. There are 18 rotating taps featuring locally brewed beers in addition to a selection of cocktails. The hotel promotes entrepreneurship and collaboration with it’s Jarvis Corner co-working space. Right next door to the hotel is Ace Parking garage and I appreciated their great customer service. If you have an Apple or Android device, make sure to check out the Ace Parking App because it accepts payment at select locations and tells you real-time parking availability.
I love how Hotel Spero is in the heart of the city, yet my stay in the Serenity Suite was so peaceful and noise free. Whether you’re in San Francisco for an adventure with friends, a meeting with colleagues, or quality time with family, it’s the perfect place to stay for many occasions!
