Queen Anne Hotel

The Queen Anne Hotel occupies an 1890s Victorian that housed Miss Mary Lake’s School for Girls before conversion to lodging in Pacific Heights. Period rooms and parlour floors preserve boarding-school scale. San Francisco’s Victorian hotel market often leans into gentle haunt branding.

Mary Lake is the signature spirit in guest lore: nurturing presence, unpacked bags, hallway sightings. Reviews mix affection and scepticism. Documented school history underpins the tale’s popularity.

Book a room; neighbourhood parking is difficult—use transit.

Practical note: Pacific Heights hills punish rolling suitcases, transit beats circling for parking, and Miss Mary stories are guest folklore unless you meet her yourself.

Boutique historic hotel—access primarily for registered guests. Public sidewalks outside are steep Pacific Heights grades. Ask the desk about any history handouts. Respect quiet hours; not every guest wants a ghost story at breakfast.
