The only noise i heard on my 3 night stay here was group fo male acapella singers--the Harvard Crocadilloes--warming up. And that was entertaining in itself. The beds are cofy and the higher up you go the quieter the floors get. The check in wqs smooth and the door staff helpful. The parking fee -48 dolalrs a day--ios a rip... More

Quick overnight stay in the city. Booked through Starwood preferred guest program and received a great room on 7th floor (716). Nice and quiet. I was concerned with negative reviews, but found no resemblance the day we stayed. Staff was courteous and friendly. Bonus chance encounter with Anthony Bourdain in the elevator at 1:30 am.... More

I was pretty excited to stay at the hotel, and I'll say that I was a bit let down by it. My room was very large and clean, but it felt old and outdated. The entire hotel has an older feel to it, but at some point the bathroom and the room appointments should be updated. The bed wasn't exceptionally... More

We're back with another rave review for The Palace. Last September when my wife and I stayed here for our anniversary, we enjoyed a corner suite looking up Market Street and wrote a glowing account of our stay. Last Saturday (February 11) we came back and got our wish when we were assigned the very same corner room. This time... More

We just returned home from having a wonderful vacation in San Francisco/Napa. We stayed here 3 nights, then visited Napa, and then returned for 2 more nights before we flew home. Our stay at the property was a very pleasant experience. A huge part of that experience is directly related to one specific employee. Paul "The Door Man" ( sorry,... More

We got a great price on Friday for a one night stay the next day, so my "value" review is based on that awesome low price. The employees very nice and I was able to check in an hour early. Unfortunately, the room was quite small. We had a room with two double beds and even with doubles, there wasn't... More

We stayed at the Palace Hotel on our honeymoon 40 years ago, and returned for a couple nights for our anniversary this past summer. It still retains the old San Francisco elegance and style that defines luxury on a grand scale. The Garden Court is one of the stunningly beautiful public rooms in San Francisco. Our room -- we got... More

This is a beautiful hotel. The rooms are big and comfortable. Although the hotel is over 100 years old, with amazing chandeliers and 14 foot ceilings in the rooms and much higher in the lobby, it's all been modernized and kept up to date. The most amazing part was a full size (though not deep) swimming pool, all located just... More

I stayed here for 2 days prior to meeting up with work colleagues in Santa Clara. The Palace is a lovely old hotel with bags of character, it's in a great central location for exploring the city and the staff are good, not great, but good. My experience started very positively - I chose to phone to book and was... More
