Hotel Diva
While the carpets are a vibrant cobalt blue, the walls are white and the Bertoia side chairs, Artemide Tolomeo bedside lamps, and sculpted steel headboards (designer Olle Lundberg�s signature) are silver. Steel grey bedspreads cover white sheets. But it's the small touches of color that pop and really make a difference. The reverse side of the bedspread is orange, as are the ice bucket, bathroom containers, and the Pablo Gloss desk lamp. They may be small things, but they warm up the cool white, grey, blue. The result is a comfortable, not cold, room.

I stayed at the Diva a few years back and would highly recommend it to anyone (and often do). Yeah, it's hip, well appointed, and has an incredible Union Square location. It doesn't have that overly smart-ass boutique attitude....and that's a welcome change.
Thanks so much for this posting. Helps me to figure out what people want in their hotel rooms. I know I am going to try to do a few special things in ours but we're a long way away yet
their ultra vivid but still subtle lobby beckons from the street...thanks for this peek inside
Yes, Hotel Diva is clean, modern and affordable, but it has also seen better days. I stayed there last year and it shows.
Actually, the hotel underwent a renovation this year. During my stay, I had a tour of the new "Suite Within Reach" and the special Kids' Suite, as well as several rooms on different floors. They were all brand-new. (In fact, I asked when I could move in.)
Oooooh...this reminds me of my favorite hotel in Sydney, Australia (both in name & in style): The Dive Hotel (http://www.divehotel.com.au/3.html), right on Coogee Beach. $111 buys you a room with crisp lines, uber soft sheets, a couple fresh flowers daily, & (my favorite part) a full kitchen downstairs that has cereal, freshly squeezed OJ, muffins, & coffee available anytime. And the checkout is 1 pm, so you can enjoy a leisurely departure. Ahhhhhh.... I have to check out the Diva here in SF to see how it compares :)
