    The Grand Dame of Union Square was built by the San Francisco Pioneers well before the 1906 earthquake and it survived it! this grand hotel had seen it all since then including the famous fatty arbuckle parties and incident in the 1920's. Upon entering this Majestic Hotel, marble columns, ornate balconies, and intricate woodwork transport guests back to the elegance of yesteryears and just outside the front door, you can see that cable cars pull to a convenient stop before gooing to the powell turnstile. This Magnificent hotel is just steps from the Theater District and is situated right smack in Union Square!

    The St. Francis features the St. Francis Health Club & Spa, a shopping promenade, superb conference and catering facilities, a full-service business center, two lounges, and three restaurants, including Historic Oak Room Restaurant & Lounge, Caruso's Coffee & Lobby Bar, and the award-winning signature restaurant, MICHAEL MINA (the rival restaurant of Wolfgang Puck in Nearby Macy's)

    When I first visited SF in the 80's, my two friends and I stayed at the Westin St. Francis Hotel. It is a wonderful experience in luxurious, traditional San Francisco style. Whether you stay here or not, during your visit, walk in and look around the beautiful lobby and if you have the time and inclination, have some food or a drink in the very relaxing Compass Rose bar and restaurant. It's really a treat - expensive - but worth it if you love quality.

    There is not much you can say about this hotel that is not positive. I stayed on the 30th floor and had a beautiful view of the Golden Gate Bridge, which is absolutely gorgeous in the evening. Top that off with a stunning view of downtown while taking the open view elevator on the way down, and you have the makings of a great hotel. Top that off with a Heavenly Bed! Voila, instant comfort.

    I watched the history of the St. Francis on the television, which was exciting as well. During WWII, Admiral Nimitz worked here to develop the plan for the Pacific Battle. Douglas McArthur stayed here after the war was over... It was the initial meeting place for the UN, Ronald Reagan and Queen Elizabeth met here, and Gerald Ford was shot at just outside of this hotel.

    We had heard lots of great things about the legendary service at the Westin St Francis, so we were very disappointed by our stay there.

    We found the staff to be rude and difficult. At one point we had to practically beg for a safety deposit box, even though they were free to guests, because the receeptionist did not think our reasons for wanting one was good enough.

    Even though the hotel itself was not as good as expected (for a 4 star hotel) the location could not have been better. It is situated right on Union Square with Macy's one side and Tiffany & Co. on the other side and the cable cars stop right outside.

    Tour Desk and Hire Car Desk situated in the lobby.

    What a great hotel. I loved this hotel so much. Great location and lovely hotel.

    Views over Union Square.

    Great views from the super speedy lifts.

    Close to Macy's and the Cheesecake Factory. (Yum).

  • Top notch hotel & service. Great views from upper floors.
    You can walk to most of the main sights downtown or take one of the many trams.

    Recommend the half day minivan tour of the city with Pacific Line. The guide was knowledgable and friendly.

  • Of the Fairmont, Mark Hopkins, Ritz, any 4 or 5 star hotel this is the best because of its exciting central location. Cable Car right outside the door. In Union Square.

    Lobby, building,location all make this the best choice.

  • I marveled at its structure - it being the only hotel standing after a devasting earthquake. It's over 100 years old.

    Union Square has its proximity to shopping, museums, and of course access to all of San Francisco. Opera curbside was exsuisite on a beautifully clear, and windy day in October . Service was impeccable, amenties sufficient, comfortable and spacious. The drinks flow and the food is excellent.

    Views could not be had from my room. Mine was a functional accommodation; the business guest - at a reasonable cost with a reasonable amount of shopping. Taxis readily available and staff anxious to assist.
