WITH AN IDEAL LOCATION nestled between Nob Hill and Union Square, Petite Auberge is the perfect small hotel for a sightseeing trip to San Francisco or a special romantic getaway.

Rich and detailed design welcomes guests to a world of French provincial enchantment. French doors with beveled glass, a collection of French art, a cozy parlor with a crackling fire and afternoon wine and hors d'oeuvres are all part of the experience.

Many of the 26 guestrooms and suites offer fireplaces. All guests enjoy a gourmet breakfast each morning.

Guestrooms feature voicemail with data port, hairdryer, bathrobe — and many feature fireplaces. Honeymooners might want to select the "Petite Suite" with its private deck, hand painted king bed, tub, champagne and chocolates.

Petite Auberge is located on Bush St. between Mason and Taylor atop Nob Hill, up the hill from Union Square and minutes away from the Powell Street Cable Car, the Financial District, Chinatown, North Beach and many of the City's finest restaurants.
