Epik Hotel Shuttles

A fashionable stay placed in an old industrial brick building, the vibrant ambiance of HOTEL EPIK offers cool Euro accents ranging from parquet floors to retro Victorian wallpaper, select suites adding modern living rooms and an espresso machine. On-site perks available to all guests include a retro lobby fully stocked with old board games and arcade machines, not to mention a convenient snack bar perfect for late-night hunger. An airport shuttle to San Francisco International is also available for a slight fee, though close access to the BART Station on Hyde offers instant transfers to wherever. For a bit more freedom, consider reserving a small sedan, SUV or van for intimate travels to wherever, also considering a handful of meet-and-greet services for convenient drop offs to nearby event venues, whether it’s an elegant stretched limousines toward the stoic events at Great American Music Hall or an informative tour of Nob Hill from the perspective of a local personal driver.

Start the morning early with a mind to explore nearby green spaces, especially popular hangouts including Jefferson Square Park’s relaxed foliage-side benches and Union Square’s unique open-air plazas lined with big-name department stores. For something close and indoors, walk down the street towards the Asian Art Museum instead, walking through a vast collection of eastern artworks ancient and contemporary that perfectly blend with San Francisco’s nearby Chinatown, the oldest in the country. By the end of the night, grab a bite to eat somewhere close and comfortable, choosing between a vast collection of Thai restaurants less than a block away from the hotel including Pho 2000 and Zen Yai, or going for some down-home American at either Brenda’s French Soul Food or Rusty’s Southern, each offering a gourmet comfort food experience.
