Kabuki Hotel

The Hotel Kabuki is one of the premiere Japanese-themed hotels in the neighborhood.  Actually, it is unfair to call it a theme hotel.  Many of the details at Kabuki are quite authentic, although there are plenty of Western elements in the design as well.  The ambiance, the popular O Izakaya Lounge (which boasts Japanese-inspired international cuisine), and the Kabuki Springs and Spa help Kabuki stand as one of San Francisco’s most unique hotel experiences.

A 48-hour sale on rooms, currently underway, will make this one of the best deals in the Golden Gate City as well.  People who book a room in the next two days will get 40% the Kabuki’s already quite reasonable (for San Francisco) rates.  The total cost will come to $84-$110 per night.  The deal also includes a $20 certificate to the Japanese-style baths located at the adjacent Kabuki Springs and Spa.

Location is another thing that the Kabuki Hotel has going for itself.  San Francisco’s Japantown is as close as you can get to experiencing the Land of the Rising Sun without traveling across the Pacific.  Japantown is filled with authentic shops, sushi bars, and movie theaters. In addition, Fillmore Street, one of S.F.’s hippest spots, is within walking distance of the Kabuki’s lobby.

For those who book in the next 48 hours, the $84 to $110 rates will be locked in until New Year’s Eve.  Even travelers who aren’t interested in staying in Japantown will find this a great price for a hotel in one of America’s most expensive cities.
