Efficient lodging towers over San Francisco's Union Square
At 46 stories, the Hilton San Francisco Union Square hotel is one of the tallest hotels in the entire city. This means many rooms offer breathtaking views of everything from the city skyline to the Oakland Hills. Rooms are clean and efficient; the spacious lobby is highlighted by wonderful works of art. Geographically, the hotel is centrally located between Union Square and the Moscone Convention Center. The on-site restaurant, Urban Tavern, serves sophisticated pub food along with delicious homemade cocktails and beer.
Highlights
  • Centrally located between Union Square and SoMa
  • Breathtaking views from the 46th floor
  • Voted best hotel for business by Executive Traveler magazine
  • Savor a hamburger and a pint of beer from Urban Tavern, the on-site eatery

Friendliest Staff Ever

Every staff person, from the front desk to the waiters to the security guards, was friendly and helpful. Room was big and clean. The only thing missing was dining options--there is only one restaurant on site, and it is pricey (but good).

Great Hotel!

I have no complaints about this hotel. It was in a great location, has a great staff, and is very nice. The hotel staff even gave us a late check out without an extra charge. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice hotel

Nice hotel. Location is great: 5 minutes from Powell station, center of the city. Rooms are shiny and clean. Hotel is huge so be prepared for lines to registration desk. Pro: 1. Location 2. Free Wi-Fi in the lobby 3. Nice rooms with fresh interior Minuses: 1. Small bathroom (though very comfortable) 2. HUGE territory of hotel itself (20+ floors, 3 towers - easy to get lost) Will stay again and will recommend to friends.

Great place to stay in SF

Perfect location for short walks to shopping, cable cars, etc. We saw the entire city while there. Friendliest hotel staff of any place we've ever stayed--anywhere. The hotel cars for transport to SFO are great. We had the most charming driver. Nice hotel bath products and very comfy beds. Would definitely recommend the Hilton SF Union Square.
