Hotel Spero, Vignette Collection by IHG

Hotel Spero sits in the middle of Union Square, a few blocks from the cable cars, the Theater District, Chinatown and the downtown edges of San Francisco that still feel alive after office hours. The property blends the bones of a historic city hotel with a cleaner, more contemporary look, giving it the feel of a well-kept urban hideout rather than a polished corporate box. Rooms are geared to business and leisure stays alike, with work space, generous light and a mix of standard rooms and suites. The hotel also adds a fitness center, meeting space and Bar Esper, where the menu leans into Portuguese and Japanese influences with a local rhythm.
