Hip, modern, artsy and refreshingly unpretentious, the Hotel Cosmo, a Kimpton Boutique property, is surely one of the City's best values and better kept secrets. From the lobby, newly renovated in shades of light blue, lavender and olive green, to its connections with the local arts community, there' s nothing commonplace about this venue. The Kimpton Group's very first property - it opened in 1981 as the Bedford - it occupies the beautiful 1929 building that once housed another much- loved San Francisco hotel. The site has a tradition of stimulating creative spirits and playing host to artists and their work. <br> The environment may be relaxed and informal, but the service certainly isn't. Valet parking whisks cars away; complimentary transportation is available for both local and out-of-town visitors in the hotel's town car; a high-speed internet station lets lobby guests make business and family connections. Hotel Cosmo is conveniently located for both the business raveler and the tourist. Hotel Cosmo Business and Meeting Services include two meeting rooms which can accommodate up to 150 (Gallery Room - 2,100 sq ft. Board Room - 441 sq. ft ) TV, VCR, Overhead Projector, Slide Projector, Projection Screens and much more. Local Theatres, excellent restaurants and shopping are within easy walking distance. &nbsp;<br>&nbsp;
