Hotel Zephyr

Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco

Virgin rating

The hotel

After a multi million dollar renovation, the Zephyr has been transformed into a modern, quirky hotel with a nautical theme and laidback vibe. In the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf, you can walk to PIER 39 and Ghirardelli Square (did someone say chocolate?) or jump on a cable car to explore further. Hidden at the back of the hotel is Socialite, a casual restaurant with a sociable atmosphere. There are lots of dining options close by too — grab a clam chowder bread bowl or head to Chinatown for delicious dim sum. When you're done sightseeing for the day, your hotel room offers a welcome oasis from a city that seemingly never sleeps!

Prince was the shining star the experience. He went above and beyond to ensure that I got I was accommodated. He regularly went out of his way to ensure that I was comfortable. So I really appreciated that. The beds need to be more comfortable though!

Great location near the water. Walking distance to the ports where they do tours to Alcatraz or cruises under the Golden Gate Bridge. I was able to walk to Lombard street also (be mindful of the hills). I felt safe being a solo female traveller walking around the streets near the hotel as it was a very touristy area.

Great location near the water. Walking distance to the ports where they do tours to Alcatraz or cruises under the Golden Gate Bridge. I was able to walk to Lombard street also (be mindful of the hills). I felt safe being a solo female traveller walking around the streets near the hotel as it was a very touristy area. Negative- the rooms aren’t very sound proof. Can hear people walking down the hallway at all hours of the day/night, or walking outside down the street/ the trams running at night and in the morning. Can hear if the room next to you are having a shower/ washing their hands through the pipe system. Read less
