If your chakras aren't quite rung out, head directly to Karma Moffett's Tibetan Bell Experience, where you can dispel bad karma and bring on wish fulfillment in a kind of wild musical Zen experience. Karma sits at the center of it all, surrounded by handmade bells and harps, Wizard of Oz dioramas, conga drums, prayer beads, long horns, conch shells, Tibetan singing bowls, candles, and cymbals. Chant your favorite mantra and be one with Karma. Finish off your weekend at Kabuki Hot Springs, a traditional Japanese spa. Next a steam, followed by a cool shower, followed by a stint in the dry sauna, and another plunge in the cold pool.
Full breakfast is served.
The Victorian Inn on the Park itself is not particularly avant-garde, but it's located along the Panhandle, in a quiet, mostly residential neighborhood that's destined for hipness any minute. Storyville, the righteous jazz club, is just around the corner, as are the Western Addition and Haight-Ashbury, and the blocks around the inn are already starting to bud with groovy new cafes and restaurants. There's a continental breakfast in the morning, and sherry or wine is served evenings, in front of the fire in the front parlor.
