W San Francisco Hotel Review

Situated just a short walk from gardens, the 31-story W San Francisco Hotel offers 2 restaurants. Located fairly close to San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, this 4-star pet-friendly hotel has an American restaurant as well as spa therapy and a shared lounge onsite.

Living Room, one of the 2 onsite restaurants, provides American dining. The lounge bar provides you with a place to unwind. There is a dessert restaurant serving American food approximately a 5-minute stroll away.

Nestled in the very heart of San Francisco, near an underground station, the traditional property is 5 minutes by car from North Beach. Academy of Art University is within 5 minutes' walk of the newly-renovated W, while Ferry Building Market is 5 minutes away by car.

Convention centres are directly across from this smoke-free accommodation, and Grace Cathedral is about 5 minutes away by car.

You can stay in one of the 411 non-smoking rooms featuring a flat-screen TV with satellite channels along with a minibar and coffee/tea making equipment. Private bathrooms also include a hairdryer and bath sheets. Guests can enjoy views of the skyline from this luxury hotel.

Salesforce Transit Center bus station can be found within walking distance of W San Francisco Hotel.

Fitness classes and an indoor pool are available at additional cost as well. The W San Francisco has a gym facility.
