Overview

The Westin St. Francis has been offering guests a warm welcome and an enriching, restorative stay since its opening in 1904. With its turn-of-the-20th-century European style, our Union Square, San Francisco, hotel blends the elegance of oak-paneled restaurants and the stately grandeur of the lobby with a $45 million reinvention of the Landmark Building guest suites, ushering in a new chapter for this storied destination. At our standout hotel in downtown San Francisco, California, you can host events in venues and ballrooms where the finest big bands once played. Recharge in elegant rooms, many featuring chandeliers and marble bathrooms, with modern touches like Heavenly Beds and Enseo Smart TV systems. As the only hotel on Union Square, SF, it is close to the Financial District and Moscone Convention Center, and with cable cars just outside our front doors, we are at the intersection of the glorious past and vibrant present of this incredible city.

Victor, Aug 2020
Pros (+) Friendly, professional staff.
Cons (-) Sliding bathroom door for room 2683 was damaged. Very hard for young children to open. Should repair before having guest stay in the room.

Caitlin, Dec 2019
Pros (+) directly across the street from Union Square, so it’s perfectly walkable
Cons (-) Parking was atrocious. It took two hours to actually approach the parking garage bc of a traffic logjam, and we never got to actually park our car safely at the hotel. We had to find a random garage a few blocks away. Best bet is to drop your car off very early, or well after check-in time.

Daniel, Nov 2019
Pros (+) Location was going to be great but didn’t actually get to stay.
Cons (-) Booked through Kayak and the day before they stay received an email that the hotel had overbooked and was canceling my reservation. Luckily I was able to find an excellent hotel a block away at a reasonable price. Not sure if I would try to book through Kayak again.

John, Aug 2019
Pros (+) The location of the Hotel is ideal for any traveler who wants to be close to the public transportation and to be near the businesses in SF.
Cons (-) For the price one is paying to be there, I wish there was a breakfast option. You could "buy" breakfast but who want to pay $25 for scrambled eggs, when you can walk 2 blocks up the street to a very nice cafe and get the same thing for $12.

Cons (-) No major restaurant. No gift shop or facility to buy personal items. King size beds should have night stands on both sides not on one only. Inadequate drawers Ask for repair of fridge not done. This is not St Francis I have stayed at in the past.
