Description

The only hotel located on San Francisco's famous Union Square, The Westin St. Francis San Francisco on Union Square is just steps from first-class shopping, world-renowned dining, award-winning theater and a bustling arts district. The next 100 years have truly begun at The Westin St. Francis as the hotel celebrates the completion of a $40 million transformation. This is the most extensive restoration undertaken by the property since the reconstruction after The Great 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. Known as the "Grand Dame" of Union Square, The Westin St. Francis San Francisco on Union Square opened in 1904, and has been a symbol of elegance for San Francisco for more than a century. While the classic aesthetic of the hotel's rich past is honored, its modern amenities embrace the future, creating a perfect blend of timelessness. Approximately $12 million was invested in the complete transformation of all 614 guestrooms and common areas in the Main Building. Guestrooms bridge the world between the old and new with a fresh sophistication that perfectly showcases the classically beautiful 1906 architecture and boast signature Westin Heavenly Beds®, 37" flat screen televisions and ergonomic desk chairs. Hallways and common areas have been refreshed with a fusion of present-day and classic San Francisco - contemporary furniture and plush carpeting are juxtaposed with time-honored black and white historical photography of the hotel and San Francisco.

Westin St Francis
By ,
A beautiful, timelessly elegant, old hotel with all modern amenities situated on Powell Street in the heart of the City Centre... which gave easy access to everything this beautiful city has to offer. The service was superb, reminicent of times gone by. Dining was excellent and an added experience was being able to take English tea in the afternoon so I felt right at home! THE place to stay in this wonderful City...I will be back!!!

we were over charged
By ,
What we didn't like was our room wasn't ready when we told them that we need our rooms early because we came down for a wedding and so then we were gave another room that was too close to the elevater that we listen to run all night. I see on this web page that the price of the hotel is much cheaper then we had to pay. We paid $192.80 with a senior discount. The hotel was very nice. We were super tired the next day because the noise from the elevater that keep us awake all night. If we stay at your hotel again we will make sure to ask for a room away from the elevater.

Astounding service, wonderful location
By ,
On the edge of Union Square, convenient to the shopping and financial and other downtown districts of San Francisco, the Westin St. Francis offers spectacular and unobtrusive personal service and comfortable, tastefully decorated rooms with beautiful public spaces. I stayed at this hotel in October 2002 on a family trip. The hotel's staff saw to even the smallest concern quickly and thoroughly. We enjoyed many visits at the Compass Rose, a lobby bar which has since closed, unfortunately.

Elegance at it's Best!
By ,
This was our first time in San Francisco. My wife and I were celebrating our 1st year anniversary, and I couldn't find a better way to spend it than here at the St Francis. Not only was it very Elegant, but it was also Nostalgic of what I would imagine it to be in San Francisco in the early to mid 1900's. Located in front of Union Square it made everything easy to get to within walking distance or just a cable car away. I highly recommend this place for those who have never been to San Francisco. I told my wife that although we have never been to New York, but have been to New Orleans. This City has the Nostalgic feeling of what New Orleans is like and also has what I would imagine the Vibe that New York would probably have as well. A very unique city.

Great Location
By ,
I have stayed here for business on several occasions through the years. Great room amenities even though some are very small. Beautiful views, wonderful location central to everything and cable car stop is right out the front door. Service is very good. Prices can be reasonable depending on availability. Would highly recommend.

Nice Location
By ,
This is a very expensive hotel, beautifully appointed, and centrally located. The offer many services, and I think my only complaint would be the that the staff can, at times, have an "attitude."

Not for Small Children
By ,
Forget about the "Kids Club" here! Call to service express and housekeeping for bed rails and were told there were none. On 3rd day finally got them. Forget about getting fridge in room-those are all taken by long staying guests! Only one side entrance is stroller friendly. Nice hotel, but leave the kids home to stay here!

Essence of Elegance
By ,
Walking into the lobby takes your breath away. The staff greets you with a smile and takes care of you every step of the way. Union Square just outside the door welcomes you to shop, dine or stroll along the beautiful streets. I felt very safe there.
