Hotel Kabuki 1625 Post Street • San Francisco • CA 94115

Elegantly balancing both Western and Eastern influences, the Hotel Kabuki is a stylish retreat in the heart of historic Japantown. This Joie de Vivre property has a modern, sophisticated interior, filled with elements that also reflect the refined beauty of the past.

A distinctively Japanese tone is set by the garden at the end of the Lobby, a calm enclave showcasing a koi pond and waterfall surrounded by a perfectly manicured landscape. This is a lovely spot for wedding photos.

Also on this level you’ll find the Sakura Ballroom, notable for its shoji-coffered ceiling and view of the garden through a floor-to-ceiling window. Natural light flows into the room during the day, and at night adjustable lighting allows you to create whatever ambiance you like. The garden, softly illuminated in the evening, adds an ethereal serenity to the mood. Additional rooms, some with garden vistas, are available for smaller functions.

Downstairs on the Lower Garden Level, the impressive Imperial Ballroom features hand-painted Japanese murals, custom-made chandeliers and sconces, and a parquet dance floor. Prefunction cocktails are often served in the Imperial Foyer, enhanced by natural light from the adjoining sunken garden, an artful arrangement of rocks and lush ferns that’s open to the sky.

The Hotel Kabuki is pet-friendly, and it’s located in one of San Francisco’s most vibrant areas. World-class shopping, Michelin-rated dining, and top theater and music venues are all within walking distance. Union Square, the Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park, Chinatown and the iconic cable cars, as well as the Fillmore district, are also nearby. Just a block and a half away is the famous Kabuki Springs and Spa—try one or two exotic body treatments (think green tea wrap and Javanese Frangipani oil massage) or an acupuncture session, and you and your friends will look and feel cool, calm, and collected for your trip down the aisle.

Whether you’re planning an intimate rehearsal dinner, a gala reception, or a post-wedding brunch, Hotel Kabuki’s variety of options, multilingual staff, and emphasis on personalized service will make it a success.
