One of the only brand-new ground-up hotel projects to open in San Francisco this decade, the Vitale stands on the newly revitalized Embarcadero, right across from the foodie mecca that is the rehabilitated Ferry Building. This is new-school luxury hospitality, distinct from the stately palaces of Nob Hill and the high-rise hotels of the financial district, an unpretentious boutique style — albeit one with a rooftop spa and a stunning view of the bay.
Surfaces are finished in natural wood and stone, and colors are earthy, natural — very little high-design gloss here. This is a town that likes its urbanity with a side of humility; hence the aromatherapy and yoga along with the cocktail bar and the plasma TVs. Rooms are bright and airy, with full-length windows, and the better half look out over the bay, the bridge, and Alcatraz.
The Americano restaurant serves Northern California cuisine with Italian influences, all fresh from local sources, including the Ferry Building’s Saturday farmer’s market. And some clever partnerships expand the Vitale’s services beyond the boutique norm — the doors of the Bay Club gym and the Golden Gateway Swim and Tennis club are open to Vitale guests at low preferred rates.

What I liked:
The location is unbeatable, decor is stylish, and free yoga in the morning is a nice plus (especially on days when they have class upstairs overlooking the bay).
What the hotel could do better:
The service seems well intentioned but a little off. The staff took pains to get my newspaper preference but never delivered one. They asked if I wanted turndown service but never provided it. And the front desk called at 11:30 pm with a question about my reservation. It's odd because the company and CEO are well known for customer service. I don't know on what planet it's good service to call a guest late a night with a question that could have waited.

What I liked:
In addition to the great location near the Ferry Building, the service and hospitality was excellent. The entire staff were friendly, courteous, approachable and very helpful. Will definitely return for our next stay in the city.
