Description:
Bold and unmistakable, Hotel Frank invites guests to dare to be different, relax and feel free to be themselves. This sense of freedom and unabashed “frankness” is expressed throughout the hotel’s fashion-forward design. At Hotel Frank, “time-less” is boldly redefined. Here, the changing styles that have influenced San Francisco through the ages are artfully synthesized into a contemporary, eclectic homage to stylistic change. A distinctive, classic and eye-catching houndstooth pattern prevails throughout the hotel, setting the black and white stage for punches of sleek emerald green and stylish furnishings. Iconic nods to the inspiration of artful design through the decades can be seen throughout the hotel - from the sumptuous, turn-of-the-century Beaux Art classicism, to the tailored lines of 40’s Art Deco. From retro mod 60’s chic, to hip, new millennium styling, Hotel Frank comes alive with a harmonious blend of ageless and up-to-the-minute shapes, textures, and colors.
