An opulently restored Victorian mansion in the heart of San Francisco's historic Alamo Square district, Chateau Tivoli is one of the city's most charming and most affordable bed and breakfast inns. Built in 1892 as a private home, and restored a century later, the Chateau Tivoli offers nine lavishly appointed rooms and suites. Once it won the hearts of Mark Twain, Lily Langtry and Luisa Tetrazzini, and today, its doors are open to you. Step inside and you enter a world of Victorian splendor, filled with hand carved woodwork, crystal chandeliers, period wallpapers, and oriental carpets. A variety of culinary temptations are offered each morning. An extensive continental breakfast is served on weekday mornings, consisting of home baked pastries, fresh fruit, juices, cereals, and custom blended coffees and teas. On weekends, you'll be pampered with a brunch featuring a warm main dish and a sparkling flute of champagne, in addition to the other breakfast items. Enjoy the opportunity to mingle with other guests every afternoon in the formal parlors and taste featured wines. While staying at Chateau Tivoli, enjoy amenities and services, including concierge service, business services, daily newspaper, laundry facilities, a library, and common room with fireplace. Charm and color are what San Francisco is all about. And there is perhaps no inn more charming or more colorful than the city's most celebrated "painted lady," the Chateau Tivoli.
