Westin St Francis

Union Square, San Francisco

Virgin rating

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.

We loved our stay at the Westin. A perfect location in Union Square. Trolley cars & hop on hop off bus stop in front of the hotel. Lots of shops & restaurants a few minutes walk away. This is an old hotel with an interesting history. Our room was comfortable & spacious.staff were friendly & helpful. A perfect stay for us with no complaints.
