Located in the heart of theater and shopping district, the hotel is just two blocks west of Union Square. Recently renovated in 2002, the hotel features 80 rooms including 20 suites and is furnished with Louis XVI antiques from France and England.
Most recent user reviewsScore 4 out of 5 Quaint decor at a great location Sasha, Fresno, CA, 2007-03-11 This hotel is just a short walk to many art galleries. It's a free and easy way to spend a day or evening, strolling through the gorgeous levels of art. Also, it's just a short walk to Market Street where you can also take a bus to Golden Gate Park-- a free and easy way to spend a day.The Warwick Regis at San Francisco had nice rooms, with Old European decor, and this kind of interior build-out was a nice touch. We stayed in a room with a queen bed, which was bigger than I'd expected. There wasn't much of a view of course-- a wall and the street below, but we expected this as a lot of hotels do this with their online specials. The curtains and bespreads were very nice, of a thick, rich material; the beds were canopied and with handcarved wooden headboards; the separate bathroom is outfitted in black marble. There is an office desk, a sitting chair, an HDTV, and a paid mini-bar. You can't beat the location. This hotel is within walking distance to EVERYWHERE you might want to go in San Francisco: it's just off Union Square and Market Street, and Chinatown. You can start walking anywhere and hit tons of restaurants, stores, wine bars, art galleries, and theaters-- in fact, it's on the same block as some of the most famous theaters in SF. The hotel itself, however nice and the rooms are, definitely has some down qualities. You have to pay for everything extra, something I'm not used to experiencing with this class of hotel, and I'm not sure if it's particular to this hotel or to this location. Calling down for a toothbrush, for example, is $3.00-- you're best off visiting the CVS right next door. And there is no free internet: paid wireless service is available by the day or by a three-day period. Moreover, bear in mind that valet service here is extremely expensive, as is in the general area. It's $35.00 for valet service, which is about the standard overnight parking service for the union square area, but the hotel does add taxes to that price as well. This valet service is supposed to include being able to call down for your car (they say to call 15 minutes ahead). We did this one night, and the service was as promised, but when we called down for our car to check out, it took about 50 minutes before our car arrived. We stayed at the Warwick Regis SF for a nice weekend alone. It was lovely because of the location, and the decor lent us a sense of escape. For that, I would recommend the Warwick. However, if you stay here, be prepared to not feel as if you're in a luxury hotel at all in terms of amenities or service-- either don't expect it, or expect to pay dearly for it. Score 1 out of 5 Review Henry, New York, NY, 2007-03-09 Theater across the Street.Very exasperating- to be fair the staff accompanied me to the other hotel and the next night checked me in at the Warwick in a very nice room. The TV system never worked properly and the restaurant was under restoration. Over all it was an unsatisfactory experience. Score 4 out of 5 great location, some charm Raymond, Washington, DC, 2007-03-07 Kuletos, an italian restaurant a few blocks away, offers good italian food.The hotel is on the same corner as much more expensive hotels near Union Square and offers some charm with few frills. The free internet access in the lobby was great, the lack of any gym was not. If you want to exercise, they suggest a one-day gym pass around the corner that costs $20. The hotel staff are very friendly, though the cost they quoted for a car service to Oakland Airport was off by $10 (the cost is $65 not $55). Overall, a good, clean, inexpensive option with some nice touches.

The staff was very polite and helpful.The room was very small but overall it was clean. The hotel room was missing a few items:iron,ironing board, and hangers.As far as location, the hotel was in a perfect spot of San Francisco--close to shopping and restaurants. Score 5 out of 5 Jewel near Union Square Louis, 2007-02-10 Too many choices to list. All within a short walk.I found to Warwick Regis to be a pleasant unexpected surprise. It had everything that I wanted in a hotel, location,room comfort, ambience at a very reasonable price. It has a European boutique feel and a helpful, courteous staff. I will definitely stay there again. Score 5 out of 5 A Runaway Christmas Treat deborah, Phoenix, AZ, 2006-12-29 You are 2 blocks from Union Square and Sax 5th Avenue, Macys, Tiffany's, Prada, Gucci, Neimen Marcus etc., etc, etc. You are one block from 3 major theaters. Two blocks from the cable car. What else do you need.We picked the Warwick Regis for our runaway Christmas treat hotel as we had had a positive experience with one of their hotels in Seattle. This beat Seattle hands down and is a delightful gem of a place within 2 blocks of Union Square. The hotel has a European boutique atmosphere and avoids the cookie cutter approach of most chain hotels. The rooms are smallish but beautifully furnished with distinctive antique beds and armoires. Towels, linens and robes are of good quality and toiletries are from Gilcrest and Soames.The bathrooms do not have adequate lighting for makeup /shaving, a failing I have noted in this chain. Mattresses are excellent but the pillows need work. There are in room safes and honor bars.The rooms are spotless. We took a chance, a leap of faith and had our Christmas dinner in the hotel restaurant. WE HAD ONE OF THE BEST MEALS THAT WE HAVE EVER EATEN!!!!!!!!! all of the meals that we had in the hotel were of excellent quality (we are using San Francisco standards here) and a reasonable price. We liked the staff, the food , the room , the location.....we plan to return next year. This is not a hotel for young families and seems to cater to an older upscale audience. Minimal frills i.e. fitness or business center, very generous in the coffee/tea and cookie area. Score 5 out of 5 Great staffs and location Anonymous, 2006-11-17 Macy's, Bllomingdale, Saks Fifth Avenue so nearbyIt is highly recommended hotel to stay-in if you really want to have a good comfortable hotel in the center of San Francisco. The staff are very friendly and they will make you feel like at home. Shopping centers are just next door and foods are easy to find nearby. It is value for money indeed! Score 4 out of 5 Good Location, Close to everything Kevin, Boston, MA, 2006-09-25 There were several great breakfast and dinner places to eat within a five minute walk.The Warwick Regis provided a great home base while visiting San Francisco. We were a few minutes from great restaurants, cable cars, night clubs and Theater.The room was small but comfortable. Score 5 out of 5 Vacation friendly Anonymous, 2006-09-23 If you are interested in going to Fisherman's Warf and Pier 39 just hop on a cable car, which stops at every corner, and ride it all the way to the beach.The Warwick Regis Hotel was perfect for a couple traveling through San Francisco on vacation. We found the service to be exceptional and the rooms very comfortable. We were satisfied with the price of our room, especially considering the prices of the other hotels in the area. We even had a last minute emergency and needed to stay an extra night at the hotel. The hotel staff were very friendly and helped us get checked back in to a room at the last minute. |
