A low effort, high reward trip to SF
By: The Dirt
Throughout classic rock history, the Phoenix Hotel in San Francisco has been a haven for creatives and music legends.
These days, the Phoenix is a well-polished, mid-century dream that’s so close to Davis you can practically count a trip as a staycation.
The former 1950s motorlodge used to be a hangout for rock bands playing at The Fillmore.
The culture and nostalgia still runs deep, from the pool where the Beastie Boys hung out to the “take a record, leave a record” invitation in the Hotel’s restaurant, Chambers.
This SF hotel is a favorite for family-friendly trips for these key reasons: it’s pet friendly (!!!), there’s a heated pool (!!), and you can get there in about six episodes of Bluey (!).
Once you arrive, you can plan on staying put. A ground floor room will put you right on the open courtyard, where you can let your littles and well-behaved dogs roam in and out of the room. Between the Wifi and the pool and the restaurant and the bar and the records and the fact that DoorDash can bring you the best sushi in the City in about 30 minutes, this might be the most low key relaxing trip ever.
The property is gated and staffed round the clock. One night is great, two: even better!
