Palace Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Francisco

“This hotel is gorgeous. The rooms are a little small, but if you’ve traveled in Europe, they actually feel better than average. For us, the size was totally fine, and the high ceilings made the room feel more open. The hotel is historic, and you can absolutely tell in the best way. The beautiful architecture, large hallways, and elegant details give it a true European feel. It’s a huge property, and everything was spotless. The breakfast was unbelievable and top notch from start to finish. The indoor pool and gym were great, and the bathroom was fabulous. The heated toilet was such a nice touch. Everything felt thoughtfully done. Parking is pricey, but that is pretty standard for San Francisco. The area right outside felt a little rough at times, with a few shady characters around, so just stay aware. It was still walkable and did not ruin the experience for us. Very kid-friendly and perfect for our family. I would stay here again and again.”

“First visit, we stayed for 3 days in a suite. It was perfect for our family of 3. Bed was great, room was lovely, loved that there was a dinning table great for kids to do art or have snacks. Bathroom is small but we'll appointed. Breakfast was wonderful, tons of great options. We did diner at pied piper as well also good suggest sitting in the lounge it was much quieter. We had a great trip its in a clean area we felt safe to walk around and close enough to walk to ferry building.”

“Our stay was absolutely spectacular from start to finish! The location was wonderful! From the moment we walked in, we were stunned by the beautiful lobby, which truly felt like historic grandeur at its finest—elegant, timeless, and beautifully maintained. The breakfast served at the hotel was convenient and delicious. The staff went above and beyond in every way. Everyone we encountered was incredibly kind, welcoming, and eager to help, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. The amenities were just as impressive—the pool and gym were not only gorgeous but also stayed open late, giving us the chance to fully relax and unwind on our own schedule. One of the sweetest surprises was having Ghirardelli attached to the hotel—such a fun and delicious treat! And to top it all off, room service was prompt, delicious, and exactly what we needed after a long day. We truly loved every single aspect of our stay and can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!”

“My husband and I have stayed at this location multiple times. My stay at this hotel was exceptional from start to finish. The service was impeccable, with staff anticipating every need and going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and luxurious experience. The rooms were beautifully appointed, offering stunning views and all the amenities one could wish for. Dining was a culinary delight, with each meal a testament to the chef's skill and creativity. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a truly unforgettable getaway.”

“What an amazing experience. Gorgeous architecture layered with so much history and character. I genuinely can’t believe it took me over 10 years of living in SF to finally stay at this hotel. The guest service was top tier from start to finish. The indoor pool and gym were fantastic, everything was spotless, and the amenities were excellent. The breakfast buffet at the Garden Court was incredible, and dinner at the Pied Piper absolutely lived up to the hype. Honestly, what more can you ask for? Easily one of the best staycations we’ve ever had.”
