Hey there! My name is Maverick, Director of Pet Relations for the Hotel Palomar San Francisco—a title I take very seriously! Rescued from a life of shelters and uncertainty, I now have a permanent home and unconditional love. Not to mention all the friends I have made while on the job! My goal here is simple, to welcome you into our home and as part of our Palomar family during your stay. Stop by anytime and say hello, I love the company—and I have been told I am a very good listener.

Memorable Pet Guest Story
A guest came in to drop off goodie bags for her incoming wedding party and Maverick took it upon himself to investigate the contents and ensure the quality of the muffins inside by consuming a few. Whoops. All muffins were immediately replaced by the Hotel Palomar while Maverick dealt with a serious belly ache.

Favorite Places
Union Square or the Jewish Museum Contemporary greens are nice open spaces to run off jet lag. The Ferry Building at the Embarcadero is also a fantastic place to walk to, bask in the sun, and watch the birds fly by.
