Hotel Julian

Design. Drama. Distinction.
A stay composed like a work of art.

Positioned along San Francisco’s creative corridor,
Hotel Julian offers a stay where heritage meets imagination.

Once a backdrop to Hollywood’s golden age,
this historic retreat now hosts a new kind of drama—
told through velvet textures, sculpted light,
and moments made to be remembered.

From the theatricality of Carlotta’s Cocktail and Wine Bar
to our perch between Union Square and Nob Hill,
every corner invites you to enter—and linger.

Discover Carlotta's & The Weekend Brunch Series

The Menu

Carlotta’s menu is composed for the curious palate—where rich, shareable dishes spark conversation and every plate arrives with a sense of occasion. From burrata draped in heirloom tomatoes to golden truffle fries and flatbreads that balance crisp edges with generous toppings, the selection favors flavor, texture, and a touch of drama. It’s a culinary experience built for lingering, where indulgence is expected and nothing is ever ordinary.

The Cocktails

The cocktail menu reads like a whispered secret, each name a clue... as the stories behind it—as the stories behind it—bold, sultry, sometimes scandalous. These aren’t just drinks; they’re characters.

The Patio

Exhibit A - An Original Remix of Art in Place

Julian’s rotating outdoor art series. Each installation offers a new perspective—inviting guests and locals to engage.

On view through August 15th: Overcast by Christopher Aiello-Escobar
San Francisco-based photographer Christopher Aiello-Escobar brings his eye for light, shadow, and form to this cinematic black-and-white study of the city’s architectural landscape. Overcast captures the quiet drama of everyday environments, transforming familiar structures into meditative visual experiences.

San Franciscos Creative Corridor

 

From Mid-Market and SoMa through the Mission, Dogpatch, and parts of the Tenderloin, where art, design, tech, and performance intersect. It's where startups launch, murals evolve, galleries rotate, and film crews roll up in box trucks.

More specifically:

  • Mid-Market / SoMa: Home to tech headquarters, art institutions (like SFMOMA, YBCA), Black Cat jazz club, and adaptive reuse buildings filled with design studios.

  • The Mission: A longtime epicenter of muralism, performance, and culinary innovation.

  • Dogpatch: Converted warehouses now house artist studios, craft breweries, and galleries like Minnesota Street Project.
