The Inn at the Opera is a beautiful, old-fashioned hotel in the wonderful Hayes Valley neighborhood. It has everything you expect from a small, classy hotel, including a delicious restaurant downstairs and comfortable rooms with all hotel amenities. The neighborhood is outstanding! It's one of my favorite parts of SF. There are dozens of fantastic restaurants and bars within a few blocks, including a place called "Sauce" that serves outstanding food and wine from a kitchen that is open after 11:00pm. The opera, ballet, and symphony are all right there! It's the perfect spot for a high-culture visit to the city, and everything went smoothly with our stay. Valet parking exists, but is pricey, so leave the car at home if you can. You don't need it for exploring the city anyhow.
