Great location

We stayed at this hotel in September, 2005. Room was nicely furnished with a small view of the bay. Staff was friendly and helpful. We paid about $100/night through a priceline bid, a great value for this hotel. Parking was extra, across the street in a covered public garage and was about $16/night.
The best feature of this hotel is probably it's location, with the cable car line terminating right at it's doorstep and the Fery terminal behind it. There is a farmers market type event held both inside and in front of the terminal building on weekend mornings which is a nice diversion.

A Perfect Location!

The Hyatt Regency Embarcadero is situated in a perfect location--

*next to the California street cable car line
**across the road from the Bay and Ferry Building (where you can catch a cruise or amuse yourself at its unique little shops and restaurants)
***along the F-line trolley route, which gives you access to all the stops along the Bay, such as Fisherman's Wharf (Pier 39)or Hyde Street Pier and more
****within walking distance to numerous restaurants and next door to trendy shopping at Embarcadero Center.

Hyatt's signature glass elevators rise from its spacious lobby (picture 2), where a enormous metal sculpture sits. The front desk, concierge, full service business center, gift shop and dining room (picture 4) all are located in this area. Our generously sized hotel room faced the Bay, giving us fantastic views day and night (picture 3 & 4)! A fitness room is available 24 hours a day.

Amenities include:
an oversized work desk
data port
wireless internet
AM/FM radio
video on demand
mini-bar
cable/satellite on large 24 inch tvs
in room safe
hair dryer
coffee maker
voice mail and speakerphone
individual cooling/heat control
granite bath with Portico spa products
city or bayside views
complimentary daily newspaper

We truly had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay at the Hyatt Regency!

Large, Modern Hotel

This hotel is located in the Financial District of San Francisco. It's light across from the Ferry Building, just a short walk to the SBC Stadium, and quick cab ride away from so many other places. I really liked the locating, but keep in mind, some places are closed on sundays because it's in the financial district.

Unique Quality: This hotel is massive, and modern. However, the rooms are a little bit smaller and not as nice as I expected.

  • Opinion of Price: more expensive than average

Hotel High Anxiety

I like very much and in the past have stayed at both the Westin St. Francis and the York - now the Vertigo hotels,
but I always seem to end up staying here at Hyatt Regency Embarcadero.

It seems the more you stay here the better they treat you.
Some people don't like this place for the huge interior lobby, the high rack rates, and the retro "forbidden planet" elevators, but I always end up staying here and am always happy with it.

I like some of Mel Brooks' movies, and I remember cracking up the first time I checked in at Hyatt Regency 5 Embarcadero when I realized this is where the "High Anxiety" hotel interiors were shot.

Unique Quality: The location in Financial District / Embarcadero center is excellent. Right on the "triangle" of Drumm, California, and Market.

The California cable car line up to Nob Hill, the Ferry building, cabstands, BART, and the MUNI are all right outside the front door.

Financial district, North Beach, Chinatown, Embarcadero, SOMA, all within short walking distance.

Excellent views from the revolving restaurant (Equinox now closed) on the top/18th floor - a great place to have a late drink while the bay bridge and the rest of downtown SF go revolving by your table every 1/2 hour or so.

They have rate specials all the time, check the website or call 'em once in a while and ask.

Cool location

Great location. The hotel is sited right on Union Square. It is well positioned for buses and trams.

Chinatown is a mere stroll away, while Fisherman Wharf is just over the hill by Tram.

I got a great deal through Priceline.

Unique Quality: The hotel is on a hill and has a bar at the top overlooking the San Francisco Skyline towards the Bay.

A Jewel in the Rennaisance

The financial district has under gone such a fabulous change over the past few years, with the "F" Line, the Ferry Building renovations and so many hot restaurants adding to rennaisance. The Hyatt Regency is one of the best hotels in the city.
We recently stayed there and found the new rooms and service were great. Loved the views from the roof top revolving restaurant, Equinox. I also heard they are opening a new restauarnt featuring a steak house style. Would recommend to anyone.

Unique Quality: This city is rich in culture and majestic beauty - and the Hyatt Regency San Francisco is in the heart of it all. Located on the stunning Embarcadero waterfront of Downtown San Francisco, our Financial District hotel is within five minutes of Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, Union Square, Moscone Convention Center, Ghiradelli Square, North Beach, and the Castro. These treasures of the city and beyond are all moments away by ferry, BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit), MUNI (inter-city transit and metro), San Francisco's world-famous cable cars and the historic F-line streetcars.

Listen to the jingle of the cable car bell from your guest room window. Take in the aroma of our fresh sourdough bread, artisan cheeses and locally grown produce at the Farmer's Market located in the newly renovated Ferry Building across the street. Whether your visit is for business or pleasure, the Hyatt Regency San Francisco has the waterfront locale where you can savour the best our beautiful city has to offer.

The Hyatt Regency San Francisco's "Deluxe King" guest rooms are designed to create a sophisticated elegance that is in keeping with the style of San Francisco. The rooms are large and airy with sliding doors that open to the city or the bay. The decor is cool, sleek and contemporary.

Great Location and amenities

Since I live here, I have never stayed here. But if I were to pick a place this is one of the ones I'd pick. You can't beat the location for proximity to public transit, walking neighborhoods, and views. The California Street Cable Car line stops right outside the hotel and never has lines, compared to the Powell Street counterparts. The property is beautiful with its grandiose lobby and atrium. Word on the street as that you can get rooms here for well under $100 right now on Priceline. Visit www.biddingfortravel.com for tips on how to get the best rates.

Unique Quality: Equinox is a revolving bar and restaurant. While a pricey option, it's fun to get a drink and sip it though one revolution. This is one of the places I always take my visitors. Fantastic views!

Walk, taxi, ?? from Fisherman's Wharf to Hyatt Regency

by spedprof

Folks,

Staying at the Hilton at Fisherman's Wharf (I know, I know but it wasn't my choice) and have a conference at the Hyatt Regency. Is taxi the best way to commute between the two. Approximate taxi fare? other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

The distance between the two is approximately 1.5 miles. There are essentially two paths you can travel, and I would suggest walking. Firstly, you head east on Bay Street out of your hotel and when you hit the Embarcadero which runs along the Bay, head south until Washington Street, then head west and the Hyatt is right there. Or, you can exit your Hotel and head south on Columbus Street and walk until you hit Washington Street and then head East to the Emabarcadero. Taxi will cost you about $15 each way. Have fun.

San Francisco is a wonderful walking city (as long as you can do the hills) - but, I must admit, I'm prejudiced. I love walking The City!! Speaking of walking, if you have time while you're there - a great walking tour is The Barbary Coast Trail: http://www.sfhistory.org/bct/flash_index.html

Hope you have a good time!

I agree with the pro-walkers.

If you don't want to walk, or can't, or the weather is bad, take the Muni F line.
