The Inn at the Opera is a lovely, old-fashioned hotel with classy, updated rooms and a European feel. It is located in Hayes Valley in San Francisco, which is a wonderful neighborhood of restaurants, cafes, nightlife, and of course The SF Ballet, SF Opera, and SF Symphony! It's a perfect location for exploring the arts scene in SF, and the hotel itself is quiet, upscale, and perfectly pleasant. There is valet parking if you have a car, but you'd be better off coming on public transit and exploring the city on foot. There's also an excellent Scandinavian-style restaurant in the hotel basement.
