Hotel Boheme
444 Columbus Avenue, San Francisco (California) CA 94133

The Hotel Bohème building was originally built in the 1880's by an early Italian immigrant family named Capurro. It was a typical three-story building with lodging on the upper floors and retail stores on the ground floor.

More recently, extensive renovations began in 1994 and Hotel Bohème, as it currently stands, opened in 1995. The Bohème was specially designed to reflect the culture and taste of late fifties North Beach. The hotel's interiors and design are reminiscent of the bohemian style and flavor the area was famous for during the heyday of the Beat era.

The hotel is designed in strong, inviting colors and patterns. In it you will find an eclectic mix of literary and visual motifs drawn directly from the Beat days.

Rooms : 15.

Area information

North Beach is a neighborhood that has been significantly shaped by its changing residents throughout the years. In the mid 1800's the area was known as the Barbary Coast and was home to a colorful assortment of criminals.

By the turn of the century the area had quieted down a bit and new residents were arriving. In 1906 one of the first hotels was built that catered to immigrant Basque shepherds who lived North and East on sheep ranches. But, like most everything in North Beach, it too was destroyed by the great quake of 1906.

It was in the early 50's that beat writers Neal Cassady and Jack Kerouac first came to North Beach. And it was in a North Beach attic room that Kerouac revised the beat-era bible "On the Road." Not far away Allen Ginsberg wrote the seminal beat poem "Howl" in 1955.

In 1958, San Francisco columnist Herb Caen coined the word "beatnik," inspired by the launch of the Russian Sputnik satellite some months earlier. The name stuck and North Beach has never been the same.

The nearest subway is 1 mile from the hotel; the nearest train station is 2 miles from the hotel; the nearest bus station is 0.1 miles from the hotel; the airport shuttle costs USD 12, and must be reserved in advance (tickets are available at the front desk).
