Historic sophistication and French dining in Pacific Heights
This Pacific Heights mainstay dates back to 1902, making it one of the oldest hotels in the entire city. With distinctive Bay windows, vintage architectural details and English antiques, the Hotel Majestic San Francisco ushers guests into another era -- complete with modern conveniences such as flat-screen TVs and Wi-Fi Internet access. The on-site restaurant, Cafe Majestic, specializes in French cuisine.
Highlights
  • Period decor transports guests to another era
  • Stellar shopping, restaurants in Pacific Heights
  • Complimentary sedan service to the financial district on weekdays
Rooms

Roughly half of the Hotel Majestic San Francisco's 56 rooms are suites. Period antiques, original artwork, flat-screen TVs and monogrammed robes are standard in all rooms. Some also include mini-refrigerators, decorative fireplaces and claw-foot tubs. Many rooms offer bay windows with city-skyline views. Complimentary Wi-Fi Internet access is available and guests receive nightly turndown service with freshly-baked cookies.

Features
The Hotel Majestic San Francisco was constructed in 1902 on the estate of Milton Schmidt, a turn-of-the-century railroad magnate and member of the California State Legislature. It opened as a hotel in 1904. Because the property survived the 1906 earthquake unscathed, it holds the distinction of being San Francisco's longest continuously operating hotel. Today, all guests have access to a complimentary Town Car service to the financial district on weekday mornings. Dry cleaning services are available (fees apply), as are passes to a local gym complete with Nautilus workout equipment and a pool (fees apply). The on-site restaurant, Cafe Majestic, was renovated in 2009 and re-opened with a menu that spotlights French cuisine. The eatery's lounge area offers happy hour specials. Valet and self parking are available (fees apply).

excellent value

Very happy. The room is very nice and clean and there are excellent maps available at front desk. The staff are well informed and helpful and go out of their way to help you. You are about 20 mins walk from union square which is great and within easy access of buses to fisherman's wharf. perhaps a little long a walk from the centre but this is a minor gripe. For the money we paid we are very happy with this hotel and would gladly come back.

Convenient but Dusty

Nice location but room had a musty dusty smell. Had to be transferred to a new room because first room had no working heater. If you need to park, do not use their valet service. Park on the street which is limited to 2 hours during the day or free overnight after 6pm or park in the Japan Center parking for $19 or so a night. It's safer and indoors and secured. This location is safer than closer to the Civic Center. However, I would rather pay a little more and stay at the hotel connected with Japan Center. It is a much nicer hotel.

Dining tip: Short walk from hotel

Go to the best Japanese restaurant in Japantown, AKA TOMBO which means Red Dragonfly. It's at Sutter and Buchanan. They have a gourmet class chef. Everything on the menu is great! And it's affordable. It blows the other Japanese restaurants in the mall out of the water. I know it sounds crazy for a Japanese restaurant but try the miso marinated lamb chops. They will melt in your mouth!

Quaint and historic

Between Castro and Fisherman's Wharf, a great location. Like a trip back in time... Antique furnishings, elegant decor, a true classic. We felt like early 1900s glamour!

Old hotel, friendly atmosphere

The hotel is in a need of updating. Other then that the rooms are clean, service is friendly, and location although a little farther from the main attractions is not bad. It is much closer than it appears at first.

It was a nice, safe hotel. I think you pay more for the historical factor.

Skip the food at the hotel and go get a ramen bowl and other delicious treats at Japantown just two blocks away. Will save a LOT of money.

Stay Number 2

The hotel is a comfortable place to stay. A little off the beaten path, but safe, clean, and comfortable. Away from the bustle and hustle of a major or downtown hotel. This place has helpful and friendly staff without the lines. The lobby is quiet and welcoming and has a very relaxing atmosphere. A real breath of fresh air!

Good Find in SF

I travel for business a lot and on this trip SF hotels were all booked or over priced. The Royal Majestic turned out to be a great find. The lobby is old school, lots of wood panelilng, etc. The rooms are dated, but comfortable and great for me since i was out at work all day. And the price was a steal. I'd stay here again.

Amazing stay!

My husband and I were very pleased with our decision to stay at this facility. Not only is the hotel in a great location, but the staff was extremely friendly and accomadating, the rooms were small but clean, and the beds were extremely comfortable. I personally loved the look and feel of the hotel. It transports you to a different era. It was the perfect hotel for our need, a comfortable and safe place to lay our heads at night!

Most try Betelnut restaurant on Union and Bucanahan. Not only was atmosphere of this restaurant lively and fun, but the food was absolutely delicious and it was not only our favorite meal, but the least expensive! Definitely order the Lettuce Crisps and have the deep fried banana for dessert!

Met my requirements

The atmosphere of The Majestic was unique. The price and prior reviews and authenticity of the hotel is what brought us to make our reservation here. We were happy with the service. Two blocks from bus stop, but farther than I would have liked for walking to main attractions. If it is your first stay in San Francisco and you are going to hit all of the tourist spots I would probably stay somewhere in Union Square itself so you are in the hustle and bustle of it all rather than taking a taxi to get there. But we enjoyed our stay overall and really can't say anything bad about it. Staff was pleasant and rooms were clean, but small.
