The hotel

This stylish yet unfussy boutique hotel is a great find. Named after sculptor Douglas Tilden, there’s artwork lining the walls and it has a hip yet homely feel. It’s quite a gathering place too — grab a latte in the curbside coffee shop or chill out a while in the lobby, then later maybe head to the restaurant for dinner and enjoy an expertly hand-crafted cocktail at the social bar area.

The location is superb, just minutes away from Union square. The room was clean, comfortable and we'll decorated. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel for your stay in San Francisco.

The Tilden was a great place to stay in SF, with a relaxed vibe and very friendly staff. If you need to be in the Tenderloin, it's perfect. Breakfast is highly recommended and my bed couldn't have been more comfortable. Thanks!

Stayed here for 6 nights while attending a trade show. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. I was impressed with the level of service. They have a nice breakfast with all items cooked to order. Tea and coffee complimentary throughout the day. Rooms are a good size for the single business traveler.

The staff was extremely helpful. Parking my car was such an easy process with their valet service. Joseph and Ayana were welcoming the moment I walked in. The lobby has a really hip vibe. The location is really close to union square. Definitely felt comfortable and clean; Will stay there again.

We purchased rooms for this hotel on Travelzoo and were not sure what we would find. Well, the staff over our 5 day 4 night stay were exceptional. Thank you Tre, Ayana, Joseph and Mario.
