"From the contemporary street-level lobby, take the elevator to the vast Sports Club/LA, where you have free access to the junior Olympic pool, full-size indoor basketball court, and the rest of the magnificent facilities, classes, and spa services"

""Pampered luxury" awaits at this "grand old dame" in SoMa, where a "lovely", "responsive" staff whisks you through an art-laden lobby to "gorgeous" quarters, "fit for a queen" with floor-to-ceiling windows, marble baths and soaking tubs ("lavish" suites are also available); it's "close to just about everything", but with "excellent" eats, an Olympic-sized pool and on-site spa treatments, you may stay put in this "first-class" oasis, which might be "expensive", but is "worth every dollar"

"The glassy exterior of the tower looks sleek and modern, but the décor inside is more traditional, with wood-paneled walls, plush rugs and gold-accented furniture lending a classic feel to the spacious rooms"
