The hotel

Put yourself slap-bang in the middle of some of San Francisco’s most fashionable theatres, restaurants, and sights. The boutique Marker Hotel is a great base — and its energy matches its setting. It was built in 1910 but you can still see its ‘Beaux Arts’ beauty in the lobby’s floor-to-ceiling fireplace and grand marble staircase. The hotel’s anything but olde-worlde though, with little touches like WiFi, and a Hydration Station providing fruit and herb infused water on tap.

We had a family stay in 2 rooms in July 24. The rooms were clean and roomy and well equipped. Lovely toiletries in the shower which smelt good. Beds were a good size and very comfortable . Restaurant on site was really good and the option for free tea and coffee in the morning was a real bonus. We had breakfast in the hotel on 2 mornings and dinner 1 night . I had read about all the homelessness around the hotel and was concerned before the trip but in reality no issues and it was safe on our visit. There is homelessness across the city but no worse in the area by hotel to union square. Read less

Parking cost $75 per night, with tax that comes out to around $90 every night. Paying almost $100 a night and valet isn't available 24 /7. If you have an early flight, your basically screwed. Find other parking places nearby for half the cost.
