5/5 Excellent

A great Hotel

"We loved our stay at the Handlery San Francisco. the location was excellent, right in Union Square, and the room was clean. The style of the hotel is elegant from the 20's I would guess, with updating, of course."

"Our stay at the Intercontinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco was absolutely fantastic, and we couldn't be more thrilled with our experience! This iconic hotel truly lives up to its reputation, offering a blend of historic elegance and modern comfort that made our visit unforgettable. From the moment we stepped into the grand lobby, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of sophistication and charm. Our room was not only meticulously clean, but while the rooms and amenities might feel a bit dated, this actually enhanced our experience, lending an excellent older San Francisco feel that we truly appreciated. It offered breathtaking views of the city skyline, which was a constant delight. The attention to detail in the room's design and amenities, including that classic charm, made it a truly comfortable sanctuary. The hotel's location atop Nob Hill is simply unparalleled, providing easy access to many of San Francisco's most beloved attractions while offering a sense of elevated tranquility. Whether we were exploring the city or simply enjoying the panoramic vistas from the hotel, the convenience and beauty of the surroundings were undeniable. The staff were exceptional—courteous, professional, and incredibly helpful, always going the extra mile to ensure our needs were met. Every interaction was a pleasure, contributing significantly to our overall enjoyment. We wholeheartedly recommend the Intercontinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco to anyone visiting the city."

"I was in town to watch baseball, and I could walk to the park in about 25 minutes. The staff was incredibly warm and friendly. My room was on the top floor, and it felt and sounded like it was right under an A/C unit that rumbled enough a couple of times that it woke me up. My room was really clean, with sharp sheets and decent towels. The desk was a bit small but the wifi was robust. I would stay here again for sure."

"This was the first time I had stayed at the Hyatt and my mom's first time in San Francisco. From the time we checked in and were helped bring our bags to our room, we were incredibly happy. The service was amazing. Every staff member we interacted with was fantastic and very kind. The room was lovely and cozy. The location was great; it was right in the middle of everything which made it easy to stay busy. We will definitely be returning to the Hyatt!"
