The Kimpton Buchanan--formerly Hotel Tomo--is something of a cult favorite with hipster types eager to soak in its sleek minimalist ambiance.  Located in Japantown, and close to both Pacific Heights and Fillmore Street, this 125-room boutique hotel is equal parts playful, chic, and quirky. Rooms have a contemporary Asian-inspired decor with 37-inch flat screen TVs and yoga mats, while complimentary hotel bicycles are available for touring the city. A hosted wine and sake hour is a great way to meet your fellow travelers.
