Hotel Triton - A Kimpton Hotel: Funky Boutique Hotel at Gates of Chinatown    Check Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • I've never been disappointed with Hotel Triton. It's funky- the rooms are very comfortable. They offer a complimentary wine/beer reception daily, and even have a tarot reader handy if you are so inclined! The hotel is conveniently located within a stone's throw of Chinatown, and very close to Union Square. I've always had very friendly service here. It's a bit pricey for those on a budget- but some internet research can usually result in a discounted rate.

    Interesting decor, free wine/beer reception, tarot readers. Last I heard they'd loan you a goldfish if you had to leave your pet at home!
    The suites are designed by celebrities such as Carlos Santana.

    Boutique Property where the innkeepers know your name... and I guess if you look like the Usual Suspects (I suspect I must have) you could even be offered real personal services by their staff. (You want some X mame???) Wow... what the HELL must I have looked like?!

    Come to think of it, I did have a few freaky things happen there... All good.

    They were the host hotel to an annual drag queen event. That was a site to see stumbling into my room one nite quite late. One day i might find the evidence photo of that nite!

    I jest about all the weird things, but I REALLY like the Triton. GREAT location, GREAT staff, and very personalble. Lots of Home Comforts.

    I haven't (yet) stayed in this hotel but a friend of mine has and says it's great.

    It's one of San Fran's hip boutique hotels, but more importantly, it's recognized as one of the top ecological, environmentally friendly and proactive hotels in the city - completely "green" friendly!

    I've stayed at the Hotel Triton two times, but I don't think I'll stay again.

    The Hotel Triton is a small boutique hotel. The interior room design is lively and funky, but the quality of the hotel is cheap and the rooms are too small when compared to the relatively high cost for a room.

    Hotel Triton has gotten the repuation of a party hotel, so be prepared; your building mates may be loud, drunk and unruly. If this happens, like it did to us, I would suggest that you try to out drink your neighbors then procede to out loud and out-ruly them, because calling the front desk won't do a bit of good. Noise is a big problem because the walls in the Triton are very thin.

    If you are looking for a more intimate / quiet hotel then the Triton will probabally disappoint you, but if you're the party type and have reversed sleeping schedules then this may be your cup of tea..

    The Triton has complementary evening wine socials, so don't miss it. Most of the people that were staying in the Triton were pretty cool. They have a DJ in the lounge on the weekends, and a tarrot card reader in the lobby (sometimes). It seemed like a younger crowd from the mid 20's to the low 30's.

    This is a picture of us trying to be louder than the other people in the Hotel. It took a lot of alcohol, and a sing along song about the male reproductive organ but I think we ended up in First Place.

    The Hotel Triton lacks great views, but it's location is pretty good. If you exit the building and turn right you're about 10 steps away from the China Town gates.

    The hotel staff seem vibrant, friendly and genuinely happy that you are there.

    The clientele tends to be in their low 30's or younger.

    The walls are very thin and the people tend to get too loud.

    I have yet to decide if this hotel reminds me of Dr. Seuss, Alice in Wonderland, or a doped-up hallucination. This is definitely not your ordinary run-of-the-mill hotel. It's fun and perfect for children or people with pets, but not terribly conducive to business travellers.

    It's merely blocks from Union Square and Chinatown. For the over-active occupant they have a 24-hour gym, so at three in the morning you can lift some weights, if you so desire. If you don't like physical exercise, but adore art... well, they've though of you too. Feel free to wander around their local art gallery or eat a freshly, home baked cookie.
    Oh, they claim to have nightly tarot readings. When I was there I saw no sign of them, but it would be very cool if they did that.

  • The Triton is an individually furnished hotel with alot of funny details. The guestrooms are a little small. Do not share one room with four people, if you don't really like your roommates.

  • Tip Rating:
  • The Hotel Triton is a funky hotel. Stay in a room decorated by Jerry Garcia or Santana. Get celebrity wake up calls. Rent a feather boa. There's a Horoscope hotline in the lobby. It's just as eclectic as San Francisco. (800) 800-1299.

    Hotel Triton - A Kimpton Hotel: A Great Boutique Hotel    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • I highly recommend the Hotel Triton. $134/night gets you a small room (aren't all hotel rooms small in SF?) with a ton of character. Zebra headboard. Red walls. Neon lights in the elevator. Solicitous staff.

    When I asked about local yoga studios, they sent up a "complimentary yoga basket" containing a mat and yoga props (block and strap).

    The top floor is their "eco" floor, which I believe has linens that are not bleached, no perfumes, no pets, no chemicals.

    Great location, too! Right near Union Square as well as the entrance to Chinatown.

    Great location.
    7th floor is the "eco" floor.
    Aveda moisturizer.
    Bold colors.
    Great wine reception every evening in the lobby.

    Hotel Triton claims to be a groovy hotel, but despite the funky looking tables and cupboard, I did not see much of grooviness in the actual room. The rooms have been renovated a few years ago, and they start to show some aging already. The design elements are just attached on the surface and otherwise the room is very basic US hotel; ugly walls, stained wall-to-wall carpet and inadequately sound-proofed windows.

    The staff is very friendly and the service is swift. The location is excellent, just a few blocks from the Union Square and at the other end of the Chinatown. The streets are noisy, especially during weekend nights, so try to get a room on the upper floors.
