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.

Hotel was very nice. Concierge was amazing, they gave us great advice on local spots to check out. Amazing property. Be careful because it's near Tenderloin area but I always felt safe near the hotel. While checking out I had a strange experience with VALET that ruined my trip. The Valet attendant in the booth embarrassed me in front of my family for no reason. I bit my tongue because I did not want to escalate the situation. He refused to give me my car until I said "Good Morning " to him, even though I said Hello and smiled multiple times. I dont really understand the issue with him but it didn't sit right with me.

The lobby was magical with cherry blossom trees. Although the rooms are a bit tiny, they are luxurious. The bed is amazing. I need whatever mattress topper they have at my house. Just a fabulous experience. Great location as well. Could not recommend more highly.

My stay at the Westin San Francisco was exceptional, largely thanks to Elaine Dai and Jose Rivera. Their impeccable service and attention to detail made my experience truly memorable. I highly recommend this hotel, and I look forward to returning.
