Axiom Hotel offers 152 guestrooms with “tech-forward” amenities, including Samsung Smart TVs with Apple TV, smartphone docking station, Kube Bluetooth clock radios and complimentary Wi-Fi. Other features include mini refrigerators, tiles showers with class doors and moveable “task desks.”

The first level and lobby area – dubbed the Hallidie Library as homage to Hallidie Square, located next to the hotel – features a mix of old and new with vintage photographs and a collection of books interspersed among modern furnishings and other pieces. In addition, the Golden Gate Bridge is abstractedly displayed in a new light – deconstructed to show the elements that make up the city’s landmark.

The mezzanine level – named the Cloud, a reference to the hotel’s digital influence –features classic arcade games that further fuse vintage entertainment with present-day gadgets. The Cloud will features an iPad station for food and beverage ordering, seating areas including a communal table with outlets for device charging, and a “selfie station” with a live social media feed.

 Additional areas include a fitness center, meeting space and The Turn Café, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner plus organic juices, micro-roast coffee, hand-crafted cocktails and local wines.
