The Stanford Court, San Francisco

Nob Hill, San Francisco

Virgin rating

The hotel

An ideal base, Stanford Court is fresh, fashionable and at the centre of everything on your to-do list. Enjoy sweeping views of the city, the bay and the majestic Golden Gate Bridge from its great spot, atop historic Nob Hill. You're close to Union Square's top shopping, dining and attractions, just steps from the historic cable cars, and a short walk to Chinatown and Fisherman's Wharf too. The hotel's restaurant has a seasonal menu celebrating the Bay Area and California's culinary artisans. Whilst in its hip, stylish lounge setting, why not try one of their hand-crafted cocktails or maybe a glass from the extensive wine list.

Amazing service!! We used the lounge area and bar for a wedding welcome party. Lauren, Albert and the staff were fantastic to work with, the menu was terrific and the space was cozy without feeling crowded for over 60 guests. The wedding guests who booked rooms had nothing but rave reviews It’s a beautiful, unique property. Totally recommend.

We had a great stay at this hotel. Check in started a little rough but the manager at the front desk was so kind and upgraded us for our inconveniences to a beautiful corner room with a fantastic view. The Nob Hill neighborhood is safe and beautiful. We did not know what to expect and it was quiet, safe and beautiful to walk across the street and next door to the other neighboring hotels. The lobby bar is great for a night cap. Gym is beautiful and fully equipped. We did the valet parking package and that was very convenient. Beds are comfortable. We could hear cable cars in our room but they stop at 10 or 11 pm and if you are noise sensitive pack some earplugs and you will be fine. We would happily stay here again the next time we are in San Francisco. Read less

Apart from the hotel being stunning, clean and in a good neighborhood, Alexandra provided the best service I could have ever asked for and made my stay 100x better. Would definitely recommend to anyone travelling to SF. Read less

The hotel is located in the middle of everything making it easy to sight see in any direction. Architecturally, it’s a gorgeous building and the staff were so accommodating! I recommend staying here for all of your SF trips. The only thing to be aware of is that the quoted fee is actually a bit more as there is a “Nob Hill Entertainment” fee attached to each room- but it’s worth it. Read less

This is my first stay at Standford Court San Francisco. It's right at the top of Nob Hill and only minutes walk away from The Whard or Union Square. I'm fortunate to work in the Hospitality industry and get to stay at all types of hotels in many different cities. Not sure if Standford is affiliated with any other Hotel Brands. The room includes Internet access, Phone calls, mini-refrigerator, ironing board, Smart TV, with a huge bathroom. Hotel Amenities include 24 Hour Fitness Center which I used only once. They have Precor equipment which I've ever seen in other hotels and gyms that l've worked out in. A few Peloton Bikes are available for use and I would love my home gym to have these equipment. They also have a restaurant in the hotel lobby and Valet parking is also available. What I wished the elevator was equipped with a room key activation mechanism to allow only hotel guest access to the room floors. Other than that, hotel is very nice, hotel staff was extremely friendly and professional, and the location being at the top of the hill makes it very safe than being in Union Square especially with Market Street being a very sketchy area at night time.
