Q: My sister and I are going to be in San Francisco for a few days in May and need a decent, stylish hotel that won't cost a fortune. Everything I have found so far is either heavily overpriced or dull motel-like accommodation. I hope you can restore my belief that San Fran is trendy! - Joan Derby
A: You will certainly discover that San Francisco, with its large gay community, is one of the trendiest cities in America. Friends I contacted recommended Hotel Diva as the perfect lodgings for you. This striking, modern hotel was a big hit when it opened in 19856, winning "Best Hotel Design" from Interiors magazine, a renovations have kept it at the cutting edge. A big TV screen in the striking lobby shows clips of famous divas and the rooms are fitted out with DVD players, flat screen TVs, iPod alarm clocks and stainless steel bathrooms. The hotel is in a great location just opposite the American Conservatory Theatre and Philippe Starck's Redwood Room. A few steps away is Union Square, offering the best shopping in the city, and scores of restaurants, clubs and bars. There's a Starbucks adjacent to the lobby if you don't feel like a full breakfast. Just one consideration - like many hotels in California, no smoking is allowed within the hotel.. Rates start around 150US dollars for a double room, but vary substantially according to season and demand. Early booking is essential. (www.hoteldiva.com)
