A rich 19th century air of elegance greets you as you walk through the Palace Hotel, San Francisco doors. Beautiful vaulted ceilings and original Austrian crystal chandeliers recreate the glamour of yesteryear. Host to presidents, royalty, and giants of industry, the Palace Hotel, San Francisco is centrally located downtown and adjacent to the Financial District. Our hotel provides distinguished travelers with the excellent service to which they are accustomed, and was named one of the "Best Business Hotels" by Travel + Leisure Magazine in 2008. Discover true California cuisine at one of our restaurants and lounges. Our renowned Garden Court restaurant features a beautiful domed ceiling of stained glass and was designated a historic landmark by the city of San Francisco in 1969. Turn-of-the-century grandeur melds with an ideal balance of antiques and ultra-modern amenities in our 553 guest rooms and suites. In addition, a professional staff is always on hand to deliver the utmost service.

Classic hotel near everything

Gorgeous and elegant hotel in San Francisco. Close to shopping such as Union Square and The Baseball Stadium. Walking distance to SF Moma and Contemporary Jewish Museum as well as Moscone Convention Center. BEST MARTINI in town at Maxfield's. The Sunday brunch at $68 is over priced and they only had about 20 people in the dining room. This dining room is spectacular and I wish they would find a price point that would attract larger crowds. One big draw back is the walls to the rooms are very thin allowing you to hear things from your neighbor that may not be your cup of tea. The rooms themselves are wonderful with high ceilings and very spacious. The staff is professional and courteous.

Great place, antiquated services

This hotel is fabulous and full of history, however; the concierge is slow, awful, rude, and totally non-productive. They can't help themselves, nevermind helping you. We would wait well over 30 minutes and get nothing but run aorunds with no accurate answers given on any of our questions.

Historical trip exploreing SF

Walk around SF plus a play. We did eat at nice restaurants but a restaurant guide would have helped. This trip was more spontaneous with the last trip being more planned.

Use the Hearst Parking facility which is around the corner rather than park in the hotel. Hotel charges $48 per night while Hearst Parking is $20. You can't go in and out...but the hotel is so centrally located, just leave the car and take either BART or Cable Cars which are all near by.
