The hotel

Everything at the W is bright, smart and vibrant, from the artwork on the walls to your guest room, with its Munchie Box and a cosy window bench. Make sure you order a cocktail at The Living Room, a stylish hangout packed with geometric shapes and colour-changing lighting. Pick your night — there are DJs some nights, and board games on others. And for a tasty Californian dinner, head to TRACE with its organic food from local fishermen and farmers.

Perfectly located near all the restaurants. I wound take an Uber to the Wharf area. We arrived on a Sunday and because it’s in the financial district, all the restaurants were closed. The front desk was super informative and gave us a list of options to Uber to or order Uber eats. Biggest disappointment: all the restaurants and bars on site were closed. Even though all of California is open and mask mandates are lifted. I believe they are having staffing issues. We really would have loved to enjoy their bar/lounge-which had great reviews. The room was clean, quiet and perfect for a 1 night stay to grab a flight the next day. Very minimal lifting. The water in the shower was NOT very hot. It was lukewarm. But the water pressure was good. Overall, I would recommend it. Take note: Vallet takes some time due to staffing. Add extra time into your schedule since everyone is getting their car at the same time. Read less

They have too few staff to run such a big operation at this time. Most ofyen - there is 1 person at front desk. No concierge. No food. One soap. Really skimped on everything. Room is beautiful - great view. One day it will be good again. Just not yet. Also everything shuts down early in the area to get anything.

Just stayed here for one night and I definitely will be returning soon! The property is immaculate and the staff is amazing. From checking in to suggestions for what to do, I couldn’t have asked for more. Both Santiago and Kyle were phenomenal they definitely made my stay memorable. Thank you for the best night in San Francisco!

I stayed at the W for 14 nights as I moved into my new apartment. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and respectful. I was impressed by the COVID measures, especially around contactless check-in and gym reservations. The room itself that I stayed in was also so lovely: the "Mega Corner, Larger Guest room" with 1 king size bed. I especially loved the city view! The one small piece of feedback I have for the team is that not having dinner service was pretty difficult and unexpected; since I had a 50 dollar meal coupon, I was hoping to use it for evening meals. Would have appreciated a heads-up via email for this caveat. Otherwise, a great stay overall and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in the SoMA area! Read less
