Top Embarcadero Center Hotel Reviews

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very nice we got in early and they had our room ready."

Hilton San Francisco Financial District

8/10 Good

"Clean and comfortable overall. The walls are thin so you can hear other guests if they’re not considerate of others."

Fairmont San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful historic hotel. We stayed on a Sunday night and we’re disappointed to find out the Tonga room is not open Sunday through Wednesday however the wonderful lady that checked us in arranged for a private tour of the Tonga room. We also took advantage of the rooftop garden, enjoying a bottle of wine and charcuterie. The concierge’s recommended a perfect walking distance little boutique Italian restaurant. We were traveling with my 85-year-old mother who cannot walk very far so this restaurant was a gem. I will definitely stay at the Fairmont again and hopefully come Wednesday through Saturday to enjoy the Tonga room."

Stanford Court San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Nicely updated hotel and room! Staff was super friendly. Hotel and room are very clean. Only negative things would be the pillows aren’t comfortable and hot water is inconsistent (one second it is warm and next it is scalding). We also had an amazing view from our room. Hotel is centrally located and within walking distance of ferry building, pier 39, China town, little Italy and Union Square. Cable car stops are right outside. I would definitely stay here again!"

Hyatt Regency San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"We were blown away by the service from valet, to front desk, to housekeeping, to the bartenders. This was old-fashioned, customer-first service. Our balcony view was breathtaking and the bed and room comfortable and enormous. Bathroom upgraded. So fantastic. I am sad we only stayed one night. We cannot wait to come back."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay. The hotel is clean and bright and comfortable. Breakfast buffet was amazing! It is situated an easy walk away from Fishermans Warf and the Pier. Travelling with kids, this made it easy. Parking is a bit expensive, but there are off site lots close by to choose from if preferred. Highly recommend!"

InterContinental Mark Hopkins by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location! Lovely room with traditional decor and amenities including dresser drawers, hangers, iron as well as a tub mat to prevent slipping and modern charging station, large desk. Staff was wonderful in all areas. Icing on the cake was the views from the Top of The Mark. We could not have been happier in our 6 days at the hotel and will definitely return to this hotel."

Palace Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was incredibly helpful and nice"

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Higher floor and city view are recommended."
