The Stanford Court, San Francisco

Nob Hill, San Francisco

Virgin rating

The hotel

An ideal base, Stanford Court is fresh, fashionable and at the centre of everything on your to-do list. Enjoy sweeping views of the city, the bay and the majestic Golden Gate Bridge from its great spot, atop historic Nob Hill. You're close to Union Square's top shopping, dining and attractions, just steps from the historic cable cars, and a short walk to Chinatown and Fisherman's Wharf too. The hotel's restaurant has a seasonal menu celebrating the Bay Area and California's culinary artisans. Whilst in its hip, stylish lounge setting, why not try one of their hand-crafted cocktails or maybe a glass from the extensive wine list.

Stayed for 12 nights. Really enjoyed my stay. Great location. Near an intersection where the trams to Union Sq, Fisherman's Wharf, and Chinatown stops. Restaurants and convenience shops aplenty all within walking distance. Heads up though, it's perched right on top of Nob Hill, so if you're physically challenged like me, it can be a little daunting walking back up after a day out. The hotel is really clean and well maintained. From the lobby to the room. I stayed in a Deluxe Queen, the room is quite big, with all the basic amenities, coffee and tea maker, a very comfortable bed and a sitting area. Would definitely stay here again. Read less

This is our first time in SF and we chose to stay in this hotel- loved it. Located in the city close to most attractions. You could take the cable car down to union to Pier 39. It was convenient for us since we didn’t rent a car during our stay. I would come back again for sure. Good restaurants all within 10-15 mins walk.

From arrival to departure this hotel exceeded every expectation. The service was great. The room was big and had great views. We forgot razors and toothbrushes and they brought them to our room quickly. They got our bags out of and into vehicles. Could not have been better. Highly recommend!!!
