The Intercontinental Hotel provides two POPOS (Privately Owned Public Open Spaces ) on the fourth and sixth floors. They have various seating arrangements and landscaping, each with views of the City

CITY GRIT

A great location, one of the coolest hotel bars we found in the city , and a super gym which you will probably want to hit up in the morning before the feasting begins.

Sanaz Limouee

Great location, friendly staff , comfy beds + linens, quick valet service + two public outdoor spaces on the 4th + 6th floors.

Rich Mondor

Great place to stay...close to the financial district and anything you need. Great staff and bartenders ! Stay here enough and once they know you its like family!

Andreas Ehn

Order a beer and ask for a free Wi-Fi password in the bar to avoid paying $14.95 a day -- and to get a beer . The code will work in your room too.

Mitzi Y.

Great views of city skyline from west facing rooms. 6th floor gym is open 24/7 and has a FloWater machine where you can refill water bottles.

Tim Mortimer

They treat you with respect. open the door for you. The place is very technology advanced. Overall a great place to spend your time. When you're not having fun in San Francisco.

Dens

If you've eaten too many burritos during your SF trip, try to do a mini-triathlon at the gym (30 min swim , 5 mi bike , 3 mi run)

Matthew

If you sign up for a completely free IHG membership you get free Internet and free 2pm checkout. Even if you never use points it's worth it. Stay above 8th floor for an unobstructed view .

Bec Vaughan

Amazing how 'luxury ' hotel chains think that nickel & diming you on water and wifi creates a good customer experience.

You'll find that this hotel is close to everything. You're within a 5 minute walk to several restaurants , shopping, a movie theater , and the Moscone Center. http://sf.travelivery.com Read more

Michel Bosma

Nice upscale hotel , clean big rooms with a nice view over San Francisco.

Rex

Although this hotel is relatively new (2008), the rooms and hallways already look very dated. Another guest was there when we checked into our room, and they offered free breakfast as an apology

Krystle T

Apparently the terraces on the 4th and 6th floors are publicly accessible open space . So go nuts , public!

Stealth Moose

This place looks modern but actually feels dated. The level of service, at best, was reasonable but nothing more and below that of other IC properties. Corner room had great views . Lounge enjoyable.

Clément Sauvage

Amazing place. At a walking distance to almost anything. Great SPA

Dens

Going swimming ? I think you gotta swim about 66 lengths/33 laps to get a mile out if the 25m pool. Do it!

Eric Ruesga

For free wifi you can suscribe to the "intercontinental rewards program" (or something like that... Can't remember the name) :)

Andrew Fergusson

The Foursquare Special cocktail is a blueberry mojito . Delicious.

Great hotel ! Had an amazing view of the city and was close to everything!

This was the pillowcase housekeeping put on our bed. Looks like a bandage from the civil war.

Yateema4ever

It's in the downtown so you can walk any where you want???? room service is cool but limited in food choices!

Vixta London

Best in-room breakfast ever. Pancakes and eggs were extremely tasty.

Marina Brewer

Parking is $60 a night... Included breakfast is for 2 guests even if your reservation is for 4. Breakfast is $28 even if you're 7 years old. The pool was an afterthought very tight area with no seats.

Ellen McGrody

Didn't stay at the hotel but the Grand Ballroom is a wonderful meeting space and the lobby is gorgeous.

Nice place. Though even on the 19th floor the sirens going by are loud .

Room keys are RIDICULOUSLY sensitive. Keep them away from your phone or the keys will be fried.
