San Francisco
David Kaufman checks out the most stylish hotels in the City by the Bay

HOTEL DIVA

Location
Prime spot opposite the American Conservatory Theater and Phillippe Stark's swanky Redwood Room

Ambience
An oversized TV screen in the glitzy lobby shows film clips of famous divas

Clientele
A fun weekend crowd of Angelenos, plus young Europeans and cost-concious business travellers

Rooms
116 smallish rooms with DVD players, flat-screen TVs, sleek Artemide lamps, cool, blue carpets and stainless-steel bathrooms

Eating & Drinking
Morning muffins and all-day apples, Starbucks for snacks and Colibri for Mexican food (and also room service)

Best thing
Great value, with Wi-Fi, daily papers, business and fitness centres included in the price

Worst thing
The prices and location mean that the Diva is sometimes too popular, especially at check-in and check-out times
