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.

After waiting in line for a while, we were warmly greeted by Luis at the front desk. I had requested an early check in and we were able to get our room early. This was our first time staying here.

After waiting in line for a while, we were warmly greeted by Luis at the front desk. I had requested an early check in and we were able to get our room early. This was our first time staying here. I had reserved a deluxe room—unsure if that meant not having a view—we just saw concrete from our window. Our room was comfortable and clean. And it was a plus having an inside room—we didn’t hear the street noise. We did however we hear the hum of the elevators. The hot water took awhile to come in the shower. The market treats were great. Concierge was helpful. Loved the lobby decor. Read less

The room was nice. The location is great and fairly close to most sites. Safe neighborhood and great amenities at the hotel. Waiting for the concierge or staff sometimes was delayed, but the attendants are quick to help and very informative. Do not buy from the local winery on site; the wine is overpriced and underwhelming.

When I visit San Francisco on business, I stay at the St. Francis. It is a classic hotel yet has been updated with wonderful modern amenities. It is centrally located in DTSF. I was checked in by Elaine, who provided excellent customer service.
