Legendary Union Square hotel combines comfort, class
The Westin St. Francis is the only hotel that actually sits on Union Square. The main building dates back to 1904, and many public areas boast the ornate columns, intricate woodwork and other design elements from this era. Perhaps the property's most famous feature is its Magenta Grandfather Clock, a popular place for people to meet. Today the property comprises two separate buildings: the historic main building and a newer tower. Three on-site restaurants offer a host of dining options.

In the middle of everything
Our first trip to San Francisco won't be our last! We loved the Westin St. Francis at Union Square. It was a beautiful hotel with excellent service and amenities. Our room was great, with a fantastic view of the city and the Bay beyond. When we return to S.F., we will definitely stay here.

Nice-great location!
The Westin Saint Francis is a beautiful hotel! The room was very comfortable. The location was perfect and close to everything. The only downside is that the hotel staff was not very friendly. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.

My review of The Westin St. Francis
The hotel is large and a little bit confusing - ie. they have 3 entrances and one must be specific if you arrange to meet someone at either and entrance or a lobby, but overall quite charming. The rooms were comfortable with plenty of closet space, nice shelves in the bathrooms - etc.

Historic and Posh
Perfect location to visit the city of San Fran.Excellent service and prompt response for necessities. If staying in the older portion of the hotel, be prepared to hear everything, including the water running thru the pipes. You may need to recall for the maids to clean the room to your standards.Clean sheets have to be requested. You may be dissapointed with the city view.It may be the brick on the building next door.Over all,an excellent place to stay.

Perfect for a short business stay
Great location, Union Square across the street, close to everything. I could walk to go almost anywhere, and San Francisco is a great city to walk. Or you can just hop on the cable car right in front of the hotel. Alternatively, there was always a line of taxis waiting on the corner. The room was, I believe, their lowest priced, and it had everything I needed. It featured a large desk, HD TV, ultra comfy soft bed. Overall everything seemed clean. The safe was a bit small (not big enough to fit my 15 laptop)... The architecture is beautiful in this historic hotel. The lobby is opulent, with a nice ambiance when filled with guests enjoying a drink at night. Overall, staff were very helpful and friendly. Wireless internet was important for me, it worked A-1, but was offered for a fee. I believe internet access should be included in a price room.

BEAUTIFUL HISTORY
I STAYED IN THE ODL PART OF THE HOTEL, THE ROOM IS BIG AND COMFORTABLE, BUT OLD. I WANTED TO STAY THER FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND BECAUSE OF THE TRADITION OF THIS HOTEL. THE ONLY THING I DIDN?T LIKE IS THAT WE RENTED A CAR AND THE PARKING IN THE HOTEL WAS ALLMOST $50.OO DLLS PER DAY. WE COULDN?T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

Beautiful accommodations, lovely hotel.
This was a beautiful hotel and the service was great however, we arrived late and food service was not available. Even room service did not deliver after 10:30 p.m.
