Hotel Julian is a gem of a restored hotel where two of Alfred Hitchcock's movies were filmed! From the window boxes of red and white geraniums to the huge rose velvet sectional and tiny but elegant bar and chic eating area, it was very impressive. The location was clean, walkable, and safe. The staff were welcoming and very pleasant. They stored our luggage while we were sightseeing during the day which was such a relief. Our room was small but extremely clean and had a huge TV, very comfy bed, coffeemaker, phone charger, and an enormous walk-in shower with lovely bodywash gel, shampoo, conditioner and lotion. Can't emphasize enough what a cost-effective find this lovely small Hotel is. It's situated on Nob Hill and just a short distance from Union Square.
