I think it's pretty funny that someone thought Japantown was 'dirty.'
If you like Japanese food (not just Sushi), that's the place to stay; hotel kabuki.

Wine tasting up in beautiful Sonoma or Napa is highly recommended.
Also go up to Twin Peaks for, probably, THE best views of the city.

The Phoenix Hotel is in the center, super hip and usually full of bands traveling through town. Clift and many of the others mentioned here are great but super pricey. Not sure how much you are thinking to to spend. $200+ a night..for the Fairmont and the Clift.
Also, check the new show at SFMOMA. The Fisher collection, the guy that started the Gap, is supposed to be amazing and on public view for the first time. Seen the private galleries at the Gap before and the little that is in there is worth a stop if you are the least bit interested in modern art.

d0mino's letterpress thread reminded me of this place, so I bumped his SF thread to tell you about it. The circle is complete.
anyway, I went on a tour there a while back and it's really an incredible place, I suggest checking it out if you're ever in SF. they cast their own type and print and bind letterpress books, and have an amazing array of functioning machines from the past 95 years.

they built a lot of stuff around the Fillmore the last few years about a block away from j-town, jazz clubs and stuff.
