Built in 1955 as the Caravan Lodge, this refuge was a haven for Hollywood celebrities before its demise in the 1970s. Purchased and renovated by Joie de Vivre Hotels in 1987, The Phoenix's decor and ambiance make it an urban oasis. Guest services include complimentary continental breakfast, free parking, cable TV and 'Beyond Fisherman's Wharf,' an insiders' guide to San Francisco written by the hotel's staff. A concierge, in-room massage services, same-day valet laundry, an on-call hair stylist, and access to a nearby full-service health club are also available.
