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!

This hotel is Great. From the view to amenities, this hotel is great for families or a getaway weekend. Where this hotel truly stands out is the service, From the moment I arrived I was greeted and assisted by Prince. I was left with the impression that he was personable, helpful, and thoughtful. I had an issue with my bag, that he sorted out quickly and with the best level of discretion. I appreciate he generosity and desire to help the customers. I’ll be bringing my family here next time I’m in San Francisco. Thanks to the team and the stellar service. Prince set the bar high and deserves the acknowledgment. Thanks Man, I appreciate you Read less

Perfect location to stay in SF. Hotel was clean, staff was courteous and knowledgeable. Every major attraction was walking or short distance. I would highly recommend this hotel for families. Also cost was reasonable compared to other hotels.

The location is great, the hotel rooms are clean, large and updated. The staff is friendly and helpful. We stayed at this hotel twice so far and each time we had a great experience. The price is appropriate for the service.

Spent 4 nights at the hotel with my 14yo son. Great location. We were able to walk most places. But also had secure parking for our rental. Room was spacious and clean. Was a bit noisy near the elevator but pretty quiet most of the night. Did not hear anyone on floor above us. Game room was great. We played several games of pool and ping pong. The only thing I would do different next time is not rent a car (or maybe just for a day trip - because car rentals just up the street.) Also we booked several months out. But with cancellation option. And I rebooked the week before and saved about $30/night. Read less

Hotel with a pleasant environment, in a very good location with private parking. The rooms are clean, nice, big enough. The staff was friendly. The hotel's close proximity to Fisherman's Wharf makes it an ideal base for exploring San Francisco and the surrounding area.
