The Galleria Park Hotel is an 8-story boutique hotel located between Union Square and the Financial District. It was selected as our host hotel because it offers excellent customer service, a wonderful location, and an fine value. The building dates from 1911, so the rooms are "cozy" (travel euphemism for "on the small side") but feature some sylish touches like Italian sheets and in-room minibars. The bathrooms are simple, with plain white tile and a pedestal sink. Various travel guides rate the hotel between 3 and 3.5 stars. Think of it as a three star hotel with four star service.

The property was renovated a few years ago, and the historic lobby was beautifully restored. Other nice features include complimentary WiFi, a very pleasant outdoor terrace and walking track, complimentary morning coffee and tea, and a complimentary evening wine reception.

MIDI is the excellent restaurant on the hotel premises. It is a modern Californian brasserie that is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The chef is Michelle Mah, named in 2006 as one of the "Rising Star Chefs" by the San Francisco Chronicle. www.midisanfrancisco.com
