PB hotel design editorial

At the corner of Market and Fell Streets, where the Mid-Market corridor has spent a decade negotiating between neglect and reinvention, a seven-story 1909 Beaux-Arts brick building that once housed the Renoir Hotel was transformed in 2017 into San Francisco Proper Hotel — a 131-room property that placed Kelly Wearstler's interiors inside one of the city's more quietly distinguished Edwardian envelopes. The facade's arched windows, terra-cotta cornice detailing, and warm red brick survive intact, a streetcar rattling past on Market Street completing a scene that could belong to almost any decade of the building's life. Inside, Wearstler's signature moves are fully deployed but calibrated to the building's bones rather than overriding them. The ground-floor restaurant, Villon, runs a double-height teal-washed dining room with fluted pilaster walls, ruffled plaster pendant lights, and mismatched dining chairs — ochre cane, leather barrel backs, woven upholstery — arranged across a patterned stone floor inlaid with brass. Guestrooms layer bold monochrome floral wallpapers against light oak plank floors, the beds set on hairpin legs and layered with striped coverlets and kilim-style rugs in overlapping scales, while the rooftop bar climbs further into pattern overload: checkerboard walls, floral velvet sofas, Gio Ponti-adjacent bar stools in blush leather, and red lacquered columns framing a panorama across the bay.

"I recently stayed at The Proper Hotel in San Francisco and could not have been happier with the accommodations, staff, and services. The staff was outstanding (please say hello to Warren), the rooms comfortable, and the breakfast/lunch at the Villon Restaurant was excellent. I enjoyed sitting in the courtyard during the warmer mornings and having breakfast there. The servers were kind, warm and attentive. The rooftop with the firepits is a wonderful way to end the evening (just be sure to make reservations if you plan to go on Friday or Saturday). Finally, who doesn't love a glass of Piper-Sonoma Sparking Wine when checking in? Such a lovely touch. I look forward to my next visit to SFO and The Proper Hotel. Cheers!"

"We’ve stayed at the San Francisco Proper several times, and each time the experience has been great. We visit SF regularly from the LA area, so we are not there for tourism, more so visiting friends, restaurants, attending events, and just getting away. The Proper is a design-forward chic boutique hotel ideally located with friendly, professional and thoughtful staff, great restaurants, and a beautiful rooftop experience. What we particularly appreciate is the quick and seamless online/text check in and check out service, perfect for travelers on the go. (Our flight was delayed and we feared being late for a dinner reservation, but we only needed to grab our room key from the front desk - everything had already been taken care of pre-arrival.) We also appreciated their generous late check-out offer. Our flight didn’t depart until later in the day and we were allowed to check out at 3pm, since they had availability. We will always make the SF Proper our home away from home in SF. Great value, beautiful stay, thoughtful service, and ideal location. Great for weekend jaunts to SF!"

"Gorgeous place with incredible service. I knew it was going to be great design, but I didn't anticipate such warm, thoughtful customer service. Every detail was thought through."

"Marriott Titanium rewards are not applicable in this Hotel and Valet is ridiculous at $85/night. Hotel is well kept but in a terrible homeless part of San Fran"
