Recently renovated in 2007, Hotel Kabuki is a premier Japanese-style hotel in San Francisco with a western touch. With its prime Japantown location and unique blend of Eastern and Western influences, Hotel Kabuki offers a calm and serene ambiance.

Centrally located in San Francisco's Japan town at the base of prestigious Pacific Heights, the Hotel Kabuki San Francisco Offers a unique blend of Eastern and Western styles surrounded by all the charm and excitement of the city.

The hotel anchors the east end of the landmark Japan Center, a fascination three-square block shopping, dinning and entertainment complex in the heart of the city. It is just minutes from the Financial District, as well as many of the city's leading attractions and cultural offerings including Chinatown, Nob Hill, Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square, the Performing Arts Center, and Golden Gate Park. It is 13 miles from San Francisco International Airport.

The Hotel Kabuki San Francisco opened in 1968 and was completely renovated in 2007. The exterior of the hotel's 16 story tower and five-story garden Wing echo the artistry of traditional Japanese architecture while Japanese gardens and a Koi (fish) pond add to the overall aesthetic experience. Interior furnishing seamlessly blend Japanese and California styles and are complemented by the hotel's $6 million Japanese art collection.

The Hotel Kabuki features 205 richly appointed guestrooms plus 13 specialty suites. The combination of elegant furnishings and diffused natural lighting through shoji (rice paper) screens contributes to a serene ambience. Guests may choose from Western or traditional Japanese accommodations. Sumptuous bathrooms feature deluxe bath amenities and offer a choice between a Western-style tub/shower combination and a furo (deep-tub Japanese bath for soaking and relaxing).. In 2001, renovation of the bathrooms commenced. This three-year, five million-dollar projects include new tubs, granite counter tops, and marble floors. Regardless of room category, Hotel Kabuki guests enjoy luxury hotel services and amenities.

The hotel has a self-service business center and an on site fitness center. Convenient and affordable indoor parking, with direct access to the hotel, is available in the Japan Center Garage beneath the hotel. Valet parking also is available.

Like the hotel itself, the Hotel Kabuki surroundings are an electric blend of East and West. The adjacent Japan Center-with its antique and craft shops, boutiques, book store, art galleries, Asian Restaurants, sushi bars, and eight-theater movie complex, and a day spa that provides traditional Japanese massage and baths as well as an extensive menu of other Asian and European treatments-offers endless opportunities for leisurely exploration and discovery. Just two-and a half blocks from the hotel, Fillmore Street leads up to Pacific Heights, one of San Francisco's most charming neighborhoods. Fashionable boutiques, nightspots and fine dining restaurants are pleasant stop along the way.

The Hotel Kabuki is 100% non smoking property. Room service is available for breakfast every day and dinner (Wedneday - Sunday).

"I had an outstanding visit at the Hotel Kabuki! The hotel was clean comfortable and had all the luxuries of other high end hotels! The staff was always polite and professional from the front desk staff, to the doormen and the cleaning staff. The room itself, (Corner king) was comfortable, clean and very relaxing after a long day of sight seeing. I thought I got an exceptional price on Hotels.com for the price. The location of the hotel was ideal (for me). It is not in the downtown area, which I found to be over crowded with too many touristy items and people. I loved the quiet neighborhood in Japantaown, located next to the Japan Center and Filmore Street which are chock full of shops and restaurants. There are 3 main bus lines no more than 2 blocks in either direction that will get you anywhere within 20 mins for $2! A cab ride to North beach only cost $10 w tip. Free Wifi and the deep soaking tub where just the cherry on top. Helpful hint: if using the Muni system, do buy you Muni Passport at SFO before leaving. There is no place to buy the ticket outside the main stations downtown. I used Lorri's GO Door-to-Door Van service to and from the Hotel. Both trips were great! When I return to San Francisco I will be staying at the Hotel Kabuki!"

"I use to stay at this hotel all the time when it was the Miyako and it was very nice. Now it has gone down hill in general. That's not the problem. They think because I booked with this web-sight and payed approximately $25 less the the other guest, They tried to treat me like dirt. In stead of putting me in the hotel they sent me to a service elevator to the annex.(floors 2,3) which I believe was a convalescent hotel for elderly Japanese last time I was there. It was run down and filthy like a tenderloin flop house. I complained and was put into the proper hotel after some fuming by the desk clerk."

"This hotel is pretty good and was worth the good rate that we got on hotels.com except for the fact that parking was a nightmare (see below). I did expect more from a 4 star. I didn't see anything special about it beyond what 3 star hotels offer except that it had some faux sliding Japanese panels in the room, and had a different style bathrooms with the toilet in its own tiny room and a wierd shower with no door of its own and another shower next to it that was not in a stall! But since we got a 3 star rate I wasn't upset. What isn't so great about this hotel is that they charge you $35 to park there overnight, or you can pay $16 for a garage down the block, OR you can park on the street if you find a space but then you have to move your car back to their lot before 9 a.m. to not get a ticket. This was all pretty annoying. Location is interesting and fairly central, but not right near anything unless you really want to be in Japantown and eat Udon noodles at every meal. Also the hotel charges for use of their computers, but they do offer free Wi-Fi in the rooms. They have a spa it seems, but that will cost you. Room service also expensive - see a pattern? A fine enough place but no great amenities that you don't have to pay extra for."

You can leave your suitcases in a locked room when you already had to check out of your room. I would definitely recommended this hotel.

"This hotel is great. The staff is friendly. The neighborhood is nice and a 20 minute walk from quite a few great locations: haight and ashbury, golden gate park, the painted ladies, and union square to name a few. It's also right smack dab in japantown, with 2 japanese malls a seconds walk outside. The bed was very comfortable, although the sleep number thing was hard to control. the room was nice and quiet. the window were huge and covered in rice paper to allow ventilation and light; you could also block out everything with drapes. the tub with the whirlpool jets was amazing and definitely worth the little bit of extra money. it is big enough for 2 people. parking is only 16 dollars a night at an adjascent parking garage, very reasonable. I would reccomend hotel kabuki and stay here again."

Underground parking is the way to go - a bargain in SF. The bathroom was nice and spacious but the toilet roll holder was falling off the wall. Deep tub was different - great for bathing kids. Hotel check in staff was ok. Workout room was limited with just one bike, one treadmill,one stairclimber, and a universal weight system."

We had to look for some things that went missing (our toddler's the suspect, not the hotel), and we found crayons, used tissue under the bed. Ew.

"My stay at Kabuki hotel was pretty good. I think someone hard to please would give it a 3 out of 5 and someone easy to please would give it a 5 out of 5, so I'm right in between. The hotel was pretty easy to find and the parking is not that difficult, but it is a little pricey. I parked below the hotel for the cost of $16 a day. Check in was very simple and the staff was nice. The room was just a little dirty. The 2 bathroom doors had some stains on them and the sink had a couple hairs in it. Oh and they didn't leave the bath salts for the hot tub on the first day. The rest of the room was good and free internet was great. I think the hotel's location is just a little too far from downtown if you want to walk (unless you really like walking), so I always drove places. If you don't have a car, I think the only options are bus or taxi. The hotel is right next to a couple malls that have a ton of Japanese and Korean restaurants and even a couple Chinese. Lots of little shops in the area as well. I think my experience at Kabuki was good, but I know I won't stay there again. If I go back, I think I will stay somewhere in downtown."

Parking is super easy, do it yourself under the mall next to the hotel , and remember to ask for parking validation at the front desk when you check out, you'll save $15.00. The room was perfect. Note: the rooms in Garden Section of the hotel have no privacy door to the bathroom so if you're shy ask for another section of the hotel. Looking forward to our next stay."

"I was not sure what to expect from this Hotel. I was a little anxious as it is in an area I have never stayed before. It was the nicest Hotel I have stayed in in San Francisco. I love San Francisco and travel there when ever I can. It was cute in how it was arranged and set up. The Shower and facilities was wonderful. I loved the shower. Any way I recomend it to anyone. The only complaint was that it is located in a part of San Francisco that is away from most of the tourist venues. It does require travel to get to most of the places people go to San Francisco to see. Japan town is not really set up for tourists. It was fun to visit something new and different."

"We spent 2 days at the Hotel Kabuki and it was like taking a trip to Japan! Of course we explored other areas of the city, but walking around Japantown was so completely different from where I live. However, if you don't know about Japanese culture it might be overwhelming (like it was for my boyfriend). The room itself was nice, but the furniture was a little banged up, and clean nonetheless. Be prepared to pay for cab rides or bus fares if going to other parts of the city. The Japanese mall connected to the holel was probably my favorite part. There is a "$1.50" store (like the 99 cent store) where you can get just about anything, it's great! I could afford awesome gifts for all my family and friends. For the price I payed, I would for sure go back to the Hotel Kabuki!"

"Should you have a car and prefer quiet mixed in with urban city living, you could not ask for a better location. It was an easy walk to restaurants and boutiques without the North Beach neighborhood crowds and attitudes. A difficult, one mile walk from the Tenderloin neighborhood, the LAST place you want to be, so make sure you know your boundaries; when to walk, when to drive, catch a bus or a take a taxi. Overnight parking, should you need it, is only $15 dollars. This is the cheapest I have ever seen in the city. There is free street parking (non metered spaces) about three blocks down the road and a plethora of meters right out front the hotel that become free after 6 pm during the week, and 7 pm on the weekends, Sunday included! Not once did we pay for parking during our stay. There is also a city bus stop on the corner that will take you to the downtown shopping district on Geary St. as well as to a GREAT local, late night, lounge in the financial district called John Collins. Check out the BART website for public transportation information. As for our room, it was not bad, just not what we expected . . . . maybe the furniture was arranged wrong. All of the individual pieces were nice but as a whole, the wallpaper, carpet, placement of the bed and lounge chair . . . . all together it was a bit awkward. Ive only seen the one room in the hotel so some of the others may be arranged differently. The bed, however, was very comfortable and the bathroom albeit small, quite modern and tasteful. The shower roomtub combination where fantastic. If you are visiting San Francisco for the first time as a tourist, look at hotels around Fisherman's Wharf, North Beach, China Town and Financial District. If you are experienced with San Francisco and know how to maneuver in an urban city and prefer to be away from the madness with easy access to the chaos, this is a great place to stay."

Japan Town is a great location, with shops that have Japanese goods and foods. Across the street is a hardware store where you can get Japanese saws and other tools, as well as typical US hardware goods. And there are two groceries nearby where one can buy nato, fresh bento, seaweed salad, etc. There are plenty of handy Japanese restaurants, as well as other Asian restaurants (Korean, Thai, Chinese, ...) all within walking distance.

"The Kabuki has got to be my favorite hotel in the world, bar none. Serene and gorgeous, with lovely views, comfortable beds, great bathrooms, and excellent service."

"We wanted to shop and eat at Japantown, so the location was perfect. The room was quiet and spacious. Front desk staff were courteous and professional. As recommended by other reviewers, we used the public parking connected with the hotel and it worked out great. The wireless Internet access was very slow, but it was free. The linens were a bit old. Other than that, we were happy especially for the price we paid via hotels.com. We would stay there again."

"Hotel is great... only problem was that I booked it because I thought parking was included. There is a parking garage, but they don't validate. It was only $15 to park overnight, so it wasn't too bad."

"Brilliant location in SF (adjacent to the Japanese Center), safe area, nice staff and good sized rooms. Hotel Kabuki looks like it was a beautiful hotel like 30-40 years ago, and needs an overhaul. Yet, it was clean and the staff were friendly."

"It's a nice hotel that has been recently remodeled but some of the hotel is still old. The room was big. The bath extra nice. The location is mostly good but avoid the housing projects a couple blocks south of the hotel. Lots of good restaurants in Japan town and on Fillmore street."

"It never failed between 11PM and 3AM, banging and clanging of carts with dishes or such were transported! Why at that time it is just not making any sense!"

"Everything was great, except for one thing.... I dropped my wallet out side of my door and it was returned with everything missing... The guy at the front desk couldn't even give me a description about the person who turned it in and they still probably haven't checked their cameras...."

"The Hotel Kabuki has been around for some time, and it shows. The lobby is still beautiful, but the renovated rooms still need some work."
