The Hotel Vitale wins us over with its location on the Embarcadero, practically across the street from the Ferry Building. Who needs room-service breakfast when you can zip over for some Blue Bottle espresso and a poached egg with braised greens at Boulette’s Larder? A grown-up palette of wood and stone lets you know that this hotel, part of the Joie de Vivre group, is about its spa not its bar—more Eileen Fisher than Saint Laurent. Also, the in-room workstations are sized for those who mean business.

PRO TIP: Be sure to ask for a water view.

THE DETAILS: Rooms from $267.
