The hotel

Standing proudly on San Francisco’s Union Square, this grand hotel has welcomed guests since 1904. Full of history and classic charm, the original landmark building is complemented by the Tower, where a glass lift (check it out at night when the city is all lit up) will take you to modern, residential-style rooms with Heavenly Beds®. Back in the impressive lobby, enjoy the vintage vibes and spot the cable cars pass outside — experiencing San Francisco could hardly be easier. But before you do, why not pay a visit to the elegant Clock Bar, whose menu changes with the seasons, inspired by a different historical era each time.

Great hotel and had lovely stay...see my previous review. Unfortunately on returning home and checking our card they had taken out money for something we had not had. Despite several e-mails to them questioning this, they have not had the courtesy to reply. It was only a small amount but if they do this to every guest it would definitely add to… Read more

Very disappointed with them for this... and its extremely unprofessional. Read less

We can't say enough about this hotel! The room and hotel are beautiful. We stayed two nights at this hotel and chose this hotel due to it's location and it overlooking Union Square. We wanted a room that overlooked Union Square so we could watch the Lunar New Year Parade from our room. This room was great! The beds were comfy and the air conditioner worked great. The room was huge but (if there was a con) the bathroom was a little on the small side. The walk in shower was big but the counter space and toilet space were limited. I have to say that we encountered two outstanding employees! Michelle with customer relations and Annette with housekeeping! These two ladies made our stay super, extra special. Michelle made it great with her contact before we arrived and then adding really nice touches for our Anniversary. Annette was super helpful and gave my husband tea and honey when he didn't feel well and was staying in the room. If you are staying in this hotel on a Saturday, I would highly recommend doing the hotel tour. The history in this hotel is amazing. They also take you to areas in the hotel that you would never know were there unless you went on the tour. The views on the tour are amazing of the city!! This tour was actually the highlight of our stay in SanFran this time!! The hotel was very, very clean and beautiful. There is valet parking at this hotel for $68 per day and it's come and go. The valet is very quick and you don't have to wait a long time for them to retrieve your car. We would absolutely stay at this hotel again, without any hesitation!! Read less
