 | San Francisco York Hotel Reviews | Tips 1 - 7 of 7 |  |
The York is an older hotel within walking distance of Union Square, Chinatown, Little Itlay, North Beach and Fishermans Wharf. Bus Service to Haight is close by. The staff are friendly and cute!! All were really cute young men which really worked for me!
This hotel is where Hitchcock filmed the movie vertigo - and if that weren't cool enough, apparently there is passage ways that run underground from the days of prohibition. The Empire Plush room is a great place for a drink and right down the street are some great places to sip the day away over coffee/beer and people watch.

The famous Vertigo Room - we didn't get to stay in it but I'm guessing it's not much different than the others, however it would be very cool..... Leave a Comment Theme: HotelPrice: US$40-80 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageMap: York Hotel

I got off the Powell St. BART and walk a few blocks to find my hotel, The York Hotel. It wasn't the luxury, overpriced hotels in every big city. It was a great find in a great location. The rooms were on the small side, but if you've traveled many cities have small rooms. Plus I was a single traveler so it didn't bother me at all. The hotel also had a breakfast in the morning, small continental breakfast. Just take a few muffins and croissants in your bag and it makes for a great snack in the park.

York hotel is a charming European-style boutique hotel right in the heart of the action (Union Square). It is definitely unlike any typical hotel in that it has a lot of character and charm in a warm/intimate & cozy atmosphere. I knew about this hotel because I'm a fan of Alfred Hitchcock and some scenes in one of his films (my favorite since childhood) called "Vertigo" was filmed there. It is also a hotel that has historical significance in that it was a "speakeasy" during Prohibition in the 1920s and a celebrated hang-out for famous socialites, rich flappers, etc. back then. They have a famous Lounge that remains actively used to this day. All this history, charm, wonderful location around Union Square, amenities, and great service is worth every penny. I remember that the price used to be in the higher price range ($140-$170) for a regular room, but I'm not sure now. Although it seems like they've recently renovated, I checked on-line and the prices appear to be within mid-range. They also seem to have special packages available. Check this hotel out: http://www.yorkhotel.com/ I called them and the personnel at the front desk indicated that there is an extra charge for parking. For self-parking, prepare to pay an extra $25. It sounds reasonable enough to me. (Price based in March 2008) Enjoy this little gem in the heart of San Francisco!
The historical background, the location (it's close to everything), the service, and amenities. It is quite a charming boutique hotel! Theme: HotelPrice: US$120-180 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageWebsite: http://www.yorkhotel.com/ Map: York Hotel
