This week we bring you a very special edition of Park Life that explores our favorite park adjacent-hotels. All these hotels are either adjacent to, in, or very near a San Francisco park or plaza. We stuck to only one hotel per park, and steered away from motels. Let's get this party started!

The historic Whitcomb Hotel, located kitty-corner to the Civic Center/UN Plaza, was originally built in 1910.
