Where authenticity meets charm, this 15-room, well-appointed, boutique hotel is a gem to discover at the crossroads of North Beach (Little Italy) and Chinatown, within a stone’s throw of the Financial District. A collection of mid-century images and poet’s quotes adorn the walls; the theme is Beat Generation, taking inspiration from City Lights Bookstore, Jack Kerouac Alley and Vesuvio Café a block away.
