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.

Clean, good location. Free coffee/tea in the bar area each day was fabulous. Also far enough away from the protesters on union square that we couldn’t hear any of it from the hotel which was a blessing! Only a short taxi ride to Pier 39 and easily walkable to union square. Good stay!

Perfect stay in a perfect location for a show, not much else to say. Didn't enjoy the restaurant which is really a bar, otherwise it was great. Comfortable, clean and well maintained. No complaints except don't bother with the restaurant..

Standford Court is a gorgeous property, with amazing views. On Nob Hill, close to Union Square and the oldest China Town in the world. Cable car stops right in front of tje hotel. Sincere hospitality at its finest. Kudos to the professional and personable staff. Speaks volumnes on management.

Great location for all activities around the city. Two cable car lines are crossing here. Spacious and silent rooms and friendly staff made our stay a really good experience. Everything is clean and well maintained. Coming back for sure. Thx
