Hotel Carlton
1075 Sutter Street
It’s not extravagant, but the Carlton is popular for its colorful furnishings, witty desk clerks, and central location. It’s an easy walk from the bars and restaurants of Polk Corridor, and a cable car runs a few blocks north on Hyde. With 105 rooftop solar panels, an extensive recycling program, and energy-efficient equipment throughout, it’s also the city’s first carbon-neutral hotel, and the first in America to earn an LEED Gold Certification for low environmental impact.
