I stayed at the Hotel Vitale for two nights back in September and found the hotel to be first rate. Firstly it's not cheap and if you want a room with a view then be prepared to pay even more. However it's location is fantastic and you can sit across from the Embarcadero whilst enjoying a few drinks in the... More

A truly accommodating experience filled with a warm, lavender frangranced hand towel upon check-in, comfortable beds, complimentary wi-fi, and excellent staff. The most discriminating tastes would be impressed. More

We only stayed for one night on our way to the east coast and we were grateful that our room was available when we arrived at 11am given we had been travelling for 15 hours. The room was on the 7th floor and it had a great view of the bay. When I booked, I asked for an upgrade to... More

I've been traveling a lot for work and started staying at the Vitale a few trips ago.. and this hotel gets better and better with each visit. The staff is friendly, helpful and makes me feel like a VIP everytime I am there. I signed up for their loyalty program and was put in a gorgeous room with amazing views... More

The Good: Knowledgeable and helpful front desk staff. Rooms were tastefully done, not huge but really nice. The hotel is quiet, the bar was excellent and food good. The position is very good. The not so good: We had a deluxe, ocean-view room, but there was no bath. Not a big deal but for the money would've expected a bath... More

My wife and I stayed here for one night before driving down to Pebble Beach to celebrate our anniversary. We called our reservation agent Emily Nobela. Emily was totally professional from the the word GO. Kind, courteous and a delight to deal with over the phone, Emily upgraded us to a bay view room and provided us with complimentary champagne...

I returned to Hotel Vitale this year for the Yoga Journal Conference, January 12th-16th. Although I had the least expensive king room, I was on the seventh floor with a lovely outlook towards the Embarcadero. Some of the interior courtyard rooms on the lower levels do not have such a nice view - be forewarned, you might choose to upgrade... More

Great location across from the Ferry Building and easy access to public transport down to fishermans wharf & an easy 10 min walk to union square. Would recommend staying in a room with water views which we had and views of the bay bridge which is stunning at night. We had great service at the front desk & conceirge. Beautiful... More

Although we have a home in northern California and an apartment in San Francisco, as a special treat for my wife's birthday we reserved an overnight stay at Hotel Vitale on December 2, 2011. The hotel is in a wonderful location on the Embarcardero and across the street from the Ferry Building and all its shops and farmer's market. After... More
