Sunday Business section, London Pink Pages, excerpted from "You can still leave your heart in San Francisco", by Jeff Mills, Travel Editor:

"One of the best San Francisco hotels is the Prescott Hotel at 545 Post Street, between Taylor and Mason Streets and no more than two minutes' walk from Union Square. A small, stylish boutique hotel managed by Kimpton Hotels, one of the first of several properties in San Francisco developed by the company since its founder, Bill Kimpton, abandoned Wall Street for the hotel and restaurant business in 1981.

The Prescott embodies Kimpton's formula of transforming a building of historical grandeur and converting it into a charming, elegant hotel – perfect if you prefer to stay where the staff not only recognize your face but remember your name and how you like your morning coffee. For an even more intimate experience, our Club Level floors feel like a hotel within a hotel. These rooms include complimentary continental breakfast, served in Postrio Café and a hosted evening cocktail and appetizer reception on the fourth-floor Club Level lounge.
