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.

Stay at the Palace Hotel in San Francisc

Great hotel and would stay there again for sure. Only issue was that the hot tub and sauna were not working and charging for 800 toll free numbers is hard to understand. Everything else was great.

The Palace needs a lot of help.

Tried to check in early with my handicapped father. They put us in a King Bed and mentioned they would be able to move to another room after 4. I kept calling inidicating the bed configuration was not acceptable. The were not able to change our room to two double beds. Requested a rollaway, but was told due to the fire hazard rules, none were available in our king bed room. Due to the over promise and underdelivery of our needed room type, I ended up sleeping (any paying for another room at the Westin)They were able to give us a double bed on our second night but with a slight attitude. We checked out the next day, and found out they double billed me for the 2 night room. For the past 10 years, My family and I have stay at the palace. We don't even look at other hotels. However after this trip, It's time to start checking out other Hotels for a smoother stay.

Nightlife tip: Short walk from hotel

We were attending a private party at a local restaurant/bar around the corner from the palace. The two days we were there the spa staff was not present and we had to keep making phone calls for more towels. Also, confirmed that the pool and jaquzzi was working but on May 23rd, it was closed.

Lots of good shopping in walking distance of the hotel. We had dinner at the Water Bar located by the Bay Bridge not far from the hotel. It was excellent. Also, Mama's at Washington Square is great for breakfast and lunch.

Palace hotel

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is great especially if you want to be near union square and in the heart of the city. I have stayed at the palace before and enjoyed my stay very much. I highly recommend that if you are looking to stay in a luxurious hotel but still have the being at home comfort feel. Pick the palace. The pool is nice for swimming laps in the evening. The palace is a great place to unwind and relax. They have many accomodations to fit everyones need. The beds are extremely soft and comfortable. You almost feel like you melt right into them.
