Beautiful Hotel!

I pretty much heart this place! This is where we got married last June. The views from the top floor are unparallel! We rented the entire 33rd floor...both Victors and the Alexandria Room. Between the gorgeous decor, amazing sunset, and gorgeous city views, the space was absolutely magestic! The food was not your typical 'hotel wedding' meal. Everything was done so beautifully, and tasted amazing. Fantastic service throughout the entire evening and the honeymoon suites were awesome!! I wanted to move in permanently :)

Best Location!

by ninni18 at Citysearch

I loved this hotel. My boyfriend and I stayed at the St. Francis for a little weekend getaway. The location is perfect to get to anywhere in the city. The building is gorgeous, with so much history. When we check in they gave us a complimentary upgrade to a double room with a large window that opened in the new tower. Modern, clean room. The service was excellent. They were always happy to help with directions, etc. Would definitely stay there the next time we go to San Fran.

• Pros: Service, building, location.
• Cons: None

Beautiful Hotel

by erin_mag at Citysearch

I had stayed at this hotel many times before looking it up on 'citysearch' and I was so disappointed to see how many terrible reviews it recieved. Every single time I come to San Francisco I make a point to stay at this hotel. I have not stayed in the older part of the hotel recently but I never had a problem with cleanliness. The rooms in the taller newer towers are modern but very warm and comfortable (Waterford bed linens feel pretty amazing after a long day) and the lobby looks straight out of a movie scene, especially during Christmas. When I last visited there was construction at the 'Compass Rose' bar downstairs. That was the only downfall. I will say that the parking is very expensive, but I never had a problem with a long wait. Why don't you call ahead of time if it takes so long? Bottom line, this is a great hotel. The best location (especially if you want to shop for clothes).

• Pros: Location, Setting, Beautiful Lobby
• Cons: Expensive Parking

Location is terrific ! Old tower had original charm with perfect view of Union Square. Staff was very friendly. We even received a free upgrade. Loved the wireless internet ! Dual shower head with powerfull pressure for a terrific shower experience. Newspaper every morning. Great atmosphere for a decent cost. It is one of the oldest hotels in town. Good restaurants walking distance. Sears Fine Foods for breakfast or the Oak Room. We couldn't ask for more. They accomodate kids and babies.

• Pros: location & view, shower & kid friendly, worth the $$$
• Cons: not for the cheap, bar is boring

The hotel was fantastic. I have no idea what the other rater is talking about, unless he didn't know that every fine hotel charges for local calls.....the lobby bar was great fun, ballroom style dancing, great drinks, and good security to keep the homeless of SF out. I felt like a VIP all weekend.

• Pros: Decor, Bar, Service

Luxerious, But Not Too $$$

by greenybeany at Citysearch

If you find a deal, stay at the Westin St. Francis. It is most beautiful inside and out. The lobby boasts a number of fabulous shops to wander through & the lounge is a delightful place to rest your feet and enjoy a martini and good music.

The rooms, ours had 2 queen beds, are huge and boast a pretty good view! We didn't get to stay in the older part of the hotel, but staying up on the 17 floor, we had an awsome time riding up and down the elevators. Overall, the hotel was wonderful, not to mention in a great central location! I would stay here again and again!! Thanks for a wonderful

• Pros: Beautiful Rooms, cool elevator ride, wonderful staff
