4 days agoThe life and death of San Francisco's rock 'n' roll hotel
The iconic Phoenix Hotel, a longtime San Francisco rock 'n' roll celebrity magnet, will close in January after losing its lease following a lot sale.
We keep it moving, hustling with the changes, thinking outside the margins. Saying farewell to venues calling it quits and acknowledging local labels and artists on the rise.
The Phoenix hotel and the Tenderloin are synonymous. They belong together. It's a rock and roll hotel in the heart of the city surrounded by all the music venues, and that's exactly where it belongs.
