Overview
San Francisco is a beautiful city with a mixture of all kinds of cultures and things to do. No hotel highlights this better than the Kimpton Buchanan.
The Kimpton Buchanan aims to create more of a nest than a hotel room. Because the hotel is situated where Japantown, The Fillmore, and Pacific Heights meet, the Kimpton Buchanan combines all of those designs to create a unique experience. Featuring European linens and a “Zen meets Barbary Coast” design with Japanese art sprinkled in, guests will find their room is cozy yet functional with a connected workstation in every room. All rooms come with an LCD flat screen television with HD channels and some rooms come with mini-fridges and Keurig coffee makers.
The Kimpton Buchanan sits next eating destinations that would make any foodie jealous. With restaurants like 1300 on Fillmore serving up Southern comforts and Dosa offering Indian cuisine with a California spin, palettes won’t ever be bored. And of course, guests will be able to find delicious, authentic Japanese food in nearby Japantown. There’s something for everyone within a short walk of the hotel.
The Kimpton is pet friendly and has a well-equipped fitness center. However, the star is their in-room spa treatments that feature everything from massages to facials to hand and foot treatments. After a long day looking through the nearby boutiques with unique oddities and live music venues, guests will be begging for the full body treatment. Other amenities include free high speed WiFi, dry cleaning, and meeting rooms.

Pros (+) Went to the front desk to ask for plates and cutlery for a birthday cake I had picked up for my girlfriend. Mind you, this was during the complementary wine/sake happy hour in the lobby. She said she could get that together for me, and returned to us sipping sake with plates, flatware, birthday wishes and a bottle of Champagne!! That's hospitality. Thank you all.
Pros (+) professional staff and great place to stay within walking distance to great restaurants.
Cons (-) need more space for personal items and better lighting in bathroom
Pros (+) The newly renovated rooms are nice, large, and clean, but the lack of hot water (with no notice) was unacceptable.
Cons (-) Despite calling ahead to ask whether we would be affected by the ongoing renovations at the Buchanan, and being assured we would not notice a thing, we had no hot water during our stay. We weren't informed that the hot water had been shut off until the morning after we had checked in, after two unsuccessful attempts at a shower.
