My family and I stayed here for one night on a driving trip down the California coast. The hotels is a grand dame in the city where you have many hotel choices. The lobby has the wow factor as soon as enter. Check in process was quick and the room we got was quite spacious for an older hotel. Very... More

Stayed here for work and thought the staff was friendly and flexible. I checked in early; front desk agreed to change my room (first one smelled like a hospital). Rooms have high ceilings and a big window. Nothing hugely special but nice. Great gym (and a good-sized pool). You can walk to so much from this location. I enjoyed staying... More

I stayed at the Palace Hotel for 2 nights, while in town for business. It is located in the Financial District and close to just about everything. We took a morning walk to Union Square, Chinatown & North Beach (for breakfast) We walked to dinner also. The BART station is right outside the hotel, we jumped on & headed to... More

Having stayed in many good to great hotels in San Francisco over the years, we were surprised to find that one of the best ones in town is not overpriced like its peers. We had both a deluxe room, and then a large suite at the Palace at prices well below what we have come to expect in SF. Both... More

I recently stayed at the Palace Hotel for 5 nights while in town on business and it exceeded my expectations on service, which compensated for any reservations someone would have on parts of the hotel feeling slightly "tired". The hotel is a must stay for anyone who appreciates old world charm. My room was very clean and tidy, despite that... More

Public spaces at this hotel are gorgeous. Rooms definitely have the old period charm, but could use an update. The hotel itself is conveniently located right between Union Square and the Embarcadero/Market. close to great shopping and restaurants. Altogether The Palace was a pleasant experience.

This is an excellent hotel full of period charm and beds to die for. The bedding was excellent which is what you want after a long flight. Check in even on a Saturday was very efficient. I would recommend the Garden Court for a breakfast and if you know you are going to be there on a Sunday then pre... More

Ten foot ceilings, solid wood doors, brass fixtures and of course the signature beds make you feel like you're in a storied mansion, back in time. Once you get past the wrought iron doors and the marble interior, the timeless Garden Court is still the Palace Hotel's center piece as it's been for over a century. The pleasant surprise this...

The Hotel depicts that old San Francisco charm. Very ornate. Courteous and pleasant staff. Very accommodating staff. The room was very spacious and clean. I did have an issue with the over stuffed feather pillows the first night. The following day I requested a thinner, foam rubber pillow and that helped considerably. We were only there for two nights for... More
