Ultra-hip, ultra-trendy, sexy but upscale younger crowd! I stayed at the W in SF as a mini-getaway and chose a suite with one king. Turned out to be gorgeous - spacious, well-appointed, top of the line speakers and tvs, two gorgeous bathrooms with wonderful tubs (bonus for people who like to soak!) and a plush bed that I could sink...

My recent stay at the W was great. The rooms were very clean and the bed was comfortable. I stayed in one of the corner rooms that had a king sized bed. The pillows and linens were perfect. Great views of the city....I was able to see the Bay Bridge from one window. The wooden shutters were a nice touch.... More

This is an update to a previous review. We recently stayed at the W SF for the weekend with our six month old baby. We had another fantastic, comfortable stay. The lobby is newly renovated; it looks great, has more seating, and generally seems to flow better. The new restaurant is also delicious. It's farm to table, yummy, appetizing food.... More

Having stayed in dozens of Sheratons and many W all over the world, I would judge this one of the best one - based on great service, friendly employees (and with humor), really working acura service, fantastic room with equally fantastic view, great food (lavish breakfast) More

We live in the SF area and were attending a conference in the city. We couldn't get into the conference hotel, but my husband's admin was able to get the same rate here. The hotel is very "trendy" with cool lighting, etc. but lacked on some comforts. We arrived during the football play-offs, timing our arrival to miss traffic but... More

I checked in a few days ago to attend a convention in town. We chose this hotel due to the location. I have to admit when I first checked in, I didn't think I would like it because it is more of a boutique hotel and reminded me of a lounge type atmosphere vs. a business hotel. Well within a... More

I stayed at the W Hotel in San Francisco for almost three straight weeks earlier this year, and hands down - this is my #1 spot in SF going forward. The hotel has the usual W vibe, i.e. special music and lighting in the lobby, attention to details, very strong services team, etc. The rooms, unlike other W's I've visited... More

We went on a family holiday to California last July. After driving more than 7 hours from our hotel in Los Angeles, arriving at the W San Francisco felt like real bliss. At the valet entrance, ample bellboys were waiting to carry our luggage inside. The young lady checking us in was friendly and courteous in this 'casual' way you'll... More

This hotel was cool, even by W standards. The hotel was being renovated during my stay but this did not impact me at all. The rooms were very large, and I was upgraded to a higher level with an excellent view due to the length of stay. Excellent location. More
