Immediately to the left when exiting the Hotel is Polk Street, filled with a wide array of incredible food options, shops, as well as unique bars and nightlife. The neighborhood has historical significance as the original center for San Francisco’s LGBT community, and more recently has harbored members of the arts community and important music venues such as Kimo’s, Great American Music Hall, The Regency Ballroom, Hemlock Tavern, The Masonic Theater, and more.

In the 1960s at the height of the counterculture movement, a music venue in the neighborhood called The Avalon Ballroom played a vital role in hosting influential acts such as Moby Grape, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and the Grateful Dead.
