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.

Trip for our wedding photo shot and honeymoon

It's a nice place to live for vacation. A lot of stores nearby to shop and eat and wouldn't take much time to visit some famous spotsites. Special recommendation is that their most comfortable bed can really kill your tiredness. However, many things are expensive and need additional charge. Ex. Can you image you spend more than $300 but no internet service and extra parking fee. Anyway, it's San Francisco!!

girls' weekend getaway

Nice hotel, nice rooms, and close to everything that we were interested in seeing/doing. On the downside, parking cost $53 for one night!!! And, that was self-parking! Outrageous! $47 + $6.53 for a city tax! That is more than double what I've paid in Seattle, Portland, Tampa, Miami, etc! There is a parking garage across the street that offers parking for $32/night. If you can, park there!

Hilton union square

good location in hear of downtown. Walk to everything, 3 blocks to cable car turnaround. Staff was ok, weren't the most helpful at the front desk. But, the concierge were awesome! Great recommendations. Nice gym for quick workout (if the hills of San Fran aren't enough!). $12 for 10 mins of internet is absolutely absurd. Parking was high at $47 per day, but that sounds standard for San Fran. Would stay here again, would without a doubt if there were free Wifi.
