One of San Francisco’s most storied hotels — known for its glass-domed Garden Court and long history. A classic stay with a central location between downtown and the Embarcadero.
Why We Chose It
San Francisco’s original grand hotel, open since 1875 and rebuilt after the 1906 earthquake. The Garden Court — a glass-ceilinged dining room of extraordinary beauty — is a National Historic Landmark, the Pied Piper Bar houses a Maxfield Parrish mural, and the 556 rooms carry the scale and grandeur of a hotel that has witnessed the city’s entire modern history.
What Stands Out
