Hotel COMMODORE HOTEL-JOIE DE VIVRE, 825 SUTTER STREET, United states. With great value and a great ambiance, the Commodore Hotel stands three blocks from Union Square's glorious shopping and near world renown theaters, including the Alcazar, known for its ornate, deco architecture and avant garde productions. The Commodore's staff members are so knowledgeable of the area that they wrote their own guide book. Guests will delight in being so close to so many art galleries and internationally known cafes and restaurants. And, of course, there are the other sites, such as Fisherman's Wharf, Golden Gate Park and Sausalito, that have become synonymous with this place where people leave their hearts. Dating back to 1928, the Commodore's vintage, high domed lobby's stylish, ultramodern décor is a feast for the eyes. Europeans, musicians and trendsetters mingle over breakfast in the retro Titanic Café and martinis in the crimson drenched, terminally hip Red Room home to huge crimson cosmopolitans. Guests can work out at a full service health club around the corner and surf the 'net at computer stations in the Commodore lobby. To get away from it all, patrons can retreat to stylish guestrooms that feature attractive, but very contemporary, décor, wildly colorful bedspreads, striped curtains, vases of fresh flowers, large walk in closets, coffeemakers, refrigerators and data ports. One of Joie de Vivre's boutique hotels, the Commodore attracts international travelers who appreciate value and the staff's knowledge.
