Beautiful hotel and comfortable accommodation . Immediate proximity to Union Square and the buzz of the city . Beware - internet connection is appalling and not suited to the business traveller.

The hotel was originally built in 1907, they have all the classic details displayed for you, it's like a hotel/museum. Location is GREAT right in front of union square.

Wayne Anderman

The many historical displays In the lobby as well as menus books and other items from the turn-of-the-century are truly a great way to spend About half an hour.

Bre Roz

The front entry is so glamorous. Marble with such a detailed ceiling... I read the history of this hotel and it is pretty great. Check out its Wilkipedia page.

Brian Strauss

Decent remodeled rooms that are a tad on the small side. Comfortable Westin beads. The Clock bar is one of the best in the Westin system. A busy hotel . Check in can take a awhile.

I never stayed here but I've gone to a lot of events here like fashion shows at the very top penthouse or just hung out at the Clock Bar . This hotel however has a lot of history.

One of the best hotels in SF . nice gym , bars , restaurant . Rooms are quiet even above union square. Recently remodeled and it shows.

The Corcoran Group

Walk past the reception, make a left and ride the glass elevator for the best views overlooking the bay . Then hit the Clock Bar for an inventive cocktail – try the Hawaii 5.1.

DoubleDeuce

A solidly convenient location. Interesting characters in the hotel bar . High ceilings in the rooms make them feel more luxurious .

Maina Khoja

Location is awesome, surrounded by premium designers boutiques and dep stores. room service is excellent the only down side is that rooms needs better sound proofing

Wayniac DaManiac

A Perfect little comfort within everything you'll want to explore. With @starbucks to start my day I'll admit I loved this place..

Melissa Foo

This hotel has mixed reviews online but I've had a great experience so far. Stay in a high floor in the tower wing facing Union Square; rooms are newer and have great views .

Joanne Mills

Charming hotel with exceptional customer service. From the front desk, concierge , maid service to the door men...all ready and willing to serve and please their guests. Loved my week long stay.

Ms Helene

Huge hotel means big gym and big bars and restaurants on site in tourist central area. Small rooms though.

Rafi Syed

Has a Hertz counter in the lobby, which is choice. Other than that, your standard tired Westin. Get a room on a high floor and you'll have a nice view of Union Square and the water.

M W

If you stay only for two night take the green choice and don't get room service . You get to choose between free wifi , bonus points or a free movie I think. Plus you get a $5 voucher for food/drinks

Trevor Filter

The glass elevator ride is something special. Head down the hallway opposite reception and ride any car to the 32nd floor .

Charles Turner San Francisco

As Charles Turner grew up in San Francisco, he exhibited the business savvy and confidence that would make him a successful investor and business leader in the area later in life.

Dalton D

I always opt for a room in the old part of the hotel , so charming! High ceilings , spacious rooms and chandeliers

Jon Smeltz

Take the tour with the hotel historian. It’s really fascinating.

SF Weekly’s Best Of 2012 Winner – Editorial Pick - Best Elevator. A poor man’s drop zone, the glass elevator at Westin St. Francis catapults riders up 32 stories and takes them down again... Read more

Wanderlust

Classic, clean hotel with a decent view . Convenient location. Gym is not bad - lots of elliptical and treadmill .

Amy B

So, so crowded . Location is "great" if you want to be in the middle of Union Sq. with thousands of other tourists .

Vilas .

Cool they allow 3 devices to connect to Internet per room, if u ever wondered if u will get charged for connecting 2..and it shows up while connecting how many active connections r present

Michelle Jacobson

Nothing like ending the night with an absinthe from The Clock Bar . Professionals only please... And you'll still probably want to head up to your room before you finish it ...

Jim

Historic hotel and it knows it. I went for the history and I'll be back. Staff = excellent. Weekends = great deals

Tariq Ahmad

Good place to stay on Union Square (albeit pricey ). Close to restaurants , shops, convenient stores , etc.

Daniel Rosenberg

Nice Starbucks in the lobby with up-market seating area and free Wi-Fi. Perfect for a casual meeting!

Divya Menon

Centre of the city - Union Sq. It's a heritage hotel . Free Wifi in the lobby. Lots of shopping stores around the hotel .

Briana Veniana

Make sure to check out this place from the ceiling to the floor. Beautiful architecture and detail.

Max Wenneker

Beautiful architecture , worth getting a room in the tower for the elevator views

Lindsay P

The elevator ride is amazing- if you can get a room key to use it. Try going all the way to the top to check out the view .

Linda Laird

Great location for shopping.

Take the BART from SFO. Simple. Fast. And drops you off in the heart of Union Square, just 2 blocks from the Westin.

N A

Best location of the hotel in SF , comfort and reasonable price

Altaf Kw

Huge hotel , crowded with tourist . Perfect location in Union square (shopping area).

kc! Bradshaw

Take the glass elevator to the 32nd floor . Marvel at the views of spectacular San Francisco!

Spencer Allen

The gym is ridiculously tiny and always packed, fork over cash an go to Equinox on pine street instead it's worth it

Adgy

Its really nice and comfy , amazing views and location ????????

Ro L

Kodee Dahl (Old Account)

Loved the in room dining. All the staff is very accommodating and friendly .

Ranu Rajkarnikar

Centrally located on union square but the rooms are lacking a bit. Service was good, gym is nice and very clean though. Overnight parking is a bit absurd at $58/night for guests.

Paul Novarese

Some great views , but it can be loud and crowded . If you get a room up high it’s nice.

Dont expect your typical Spg/Westin experience...the staff has a lot to learn about customer service...but the building has awesome history and character

Matthew Smith

Ask for an upper floor room with a view !

Stacey

Even if you're not staying at the hotel , ride the glass elevators up to the top for great views overlooking Union Square. Come back and do it again at night.
