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.

Best location as we had a beautiful view from our room. The hotel is right at California street. Going around from the hotel is easy, you can be picked up by Lyft or Waymo or simply explore by foot. You come back to a relaxing hotel and clean room.

I had a great experience at the Stanford Court Hotel. it is in an excellent neighborhood on top of Nob Hill. Being a few blocks up the hill from downtown makes it quieter and safer.

I had a great experience at the Stanford Court Hotel. it is in an excellent neighborhood on top of Nob Hill. Being a few blocks up the hill from downtown makes it quieter and safer. It is directly across the street from the Fairmont Hotel, but it is a much more affordable option. The staff were helpful. I really like the style of the hotel, as well as the furnishings and decor of the rooms. There are some really nice views too. I enjoyed the complimentary morning coffee. It is a convenient and relaxing place to stay. Read less

Magnificent hotel in one of the most central neighborhoods of SF. On California St, it is very well connected to everything. Bus and cable car stop nearby, Powell St. 20 min walk. Spacious room, comfortable bed, bathroom with dressing room and bath tub. Everything neat and clean. We booked a room without breakfast, but you can go to the lobby in the morning and buy it; there is a good choice and the quality is good. Gym overlooking California St, 24 hours a day. Friendly and kind staff. Highly recommended. Read less
