Westin-St Francis Hotel

Right on the Powell St. Cable car line, so easy access to the Warf. Right in the heart of the shopping district, a very cool area and an old and majestic hotel. The lobby is breathtaking. A good spot all in all.

I had the opportunity to stay here for a day and it was truly a wonderful experience. The service is great and the rooms have a beautiful view overlooking the Union square. On the Christmas eve, the hotel was beautifully decorated with a huge cake castle in the lobby. The in house bar has a great ambiance and food was pretty good.

It's always a toss-up where to stay in San Francisco but the St. Francis is one of my preferred choices. You can take a wonderful evening stroll after work, enjoy a number of restaurants within the area and, if you prefer not to walk, take the cable car. A cable car stop is located right outside the hotel. Also they have some of the most beautiful suites in the city. Also there are chandeliers - yes, chandeliers. This hotel is older compared to other hotels in San Francisco.

At my first stay, the room that I initially booked was too small. The management took care of this immediately. They had no problems upgrading me to a suite instantly and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg. The views of the city below is spectacular. The decor is a bit boring. The look of the lobby and rooms seems uninspired (in a "stately" kind of way), but certainly, this is not a "boutique" designer hotel, so it doesn't make that much of a difference.
