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.

Beautiful hotel in downtown SF close to the conference center. The hotel has very limited amenities as space is a premium in SF but the rooms are very nice and clean. Early check in is impossible here so I would not count on it. Would stay again!

Great rooms, amenities, service and vibe . Location, location location next to the MOMA, carousel!!, even a target store eat at the grove, skip the samovar tea rom watch out for the young techies at happy hour n the lobby unless you want to join.

I stay at a Marriott around 100 nights a year, including quite a few W’s. This one is definitely not a favorite, especially for a brand supposed to be “luxury.” 1. No elite lounge, no free coffee, and the breakfast is bad—they have a full breakfast menu, but offer Bonvoy members a few crappy options like Oatmeal. 2. Ridiculous fees—I was charged… Read more
I stay at a Marriott around 100 nights a year, including quite a few W’s. This one is definitely not a favorite, especially for a brand supposed to be “luxury.” 1. No elite lounge, no free coffee, and the breakfast is bad—they have a full breakfast menu, but offer Bonvoy members a few crappy options like Oatmeal. 2. Ridiculous fees—I was charged 5.00 “package handling fee” to receive a credit sent to the hotel. 3. Rooms are small with a cheap Ikea feel more in line with a low grade Aloft than W. 4. Unimpressive bar and restaurant. 5. Long wait for the elevators. 6. Good gym, and the location is very convenient. There are a lot of great Marriott’s in this area—Marquis and Union Square are great alternatives. Avoid the W. Read less

Came for a party and it was fabulous. Wonderful job by the hotel staff. Food was delicious. Well done making the party feel special and unique. The bartenders were attentive, the room was pretty, and for a night the party raged.

My husband and I had a great experience with the W San Fran. Upon arrival the valet and check in experience was great. We informed the client experience rep that it was our weekend away after having a baby, and the red carpet was rolled for us. Thank you W for amazing customer service and a great time.
