Save or Splurge: San Francisco

On $250 a Day

San Francisco Travel Guide

SLEEP Carved out of a 1920s hotel, the new Hotel Vertigo in Nob Hill (940 Sutter Street; 415-885-6800; www.hotelvertigosf.com) recently emerged from a cinematic makeover inspired by the Hitchcock classic. If the orange-and-white color scheme doesn't make you dizzy, the spiraled mirrors and corkscrew staircase might. The 102 rooms are spacious, a loop of "Vertigo" (which was partly filmed here when it was the Empire) plays in the lobby and, during the check-in, you'll receive a list of the best places in the city to "get vertigo," including Twin Peaks and the top of Coit Tower. Cost for a double: $139.
