The Serrano Hotel in San Francisco delivers 16th-century Spanish architecture with a mix of exotic Moroccan design all wrapped in a surprisingly sustainable package. It just goes to show that a modern four-star hotel, can cater to those who prefer the decadence of a period gone but not forgotten. Located near the Theater District and Union Square's visitors will have access to some of the best shopping and restaurants that San Francisco has to offer.
Each of the Serrano Hotel's 236 rooms have oversized windows and high ceilings, a luxury in a city where space is a premium. Part of Kimpton's EarthCare and Kimpton Cares Program, the Serrano Hotel has been honored with Green Seal's Silver certification and has also earned 3 Green Eco-leafs by I Stay Green. Both certifications are based on the hotel's commitment to high quality eco-friendly practices and the products they use. In particular, the Serrano Hotel ensures that all paints used are low VOC, all light fixtures have energy star rated bulbs including timer and motion detectors used in the back of house, low flow fixtures throughout the property to save waters, and all batteries and electronics used on the property are properly recycled when disposed.
