The Westin St. Francis has been offering guests a warm welcome and an enriching, restorative stay since its opening in 1904. With its turn-of-the-20th-century European style, our hotel in San Francisco's downtown area, blends the elegance of oak-paneled restaurants and the stately grandeur of the lobby with a $45 million reinvention of the Landmark Building guest suites, ushering in a new chapter for this storied destination. At our standout hotel in Union Square, San Francisco, you can host events in venues and ballrooms where the finest big bands once played. Recharge in elegant rooms, many featuring chandeliers and marble bathrooms, with modern touches like Heavenly Beds and Enseo Smart TV systems. As the only hotel on Union Square, SF, it is close to the Financial District and Moscone Convention Center, and with cable cars just outside our front doors, we are at the intersection of the glorious past and vibrant present of this incredible city.

    Horrible guest relations and manager

    Unacceptable hotel guest services. They simply refused to connect to a guest room when calling. We have guests coming from overseas without cellphone and they simply would refuse to connect even though we have the full reservation info. This makes no sense since just a day earlier another operator was able to connect simply by providing the full name of the guest. What kind of a hotel is this? As a gold elite member simply disappointed at the LACK OF SERVICE and ATTITUDE of employees who simply claimed "he was the manager" (doubt it - what manager just routes phone calls - should be doing more value-add work if he was the manager).

    Beautiful Hotel, But This Year Was Disappointing

    Our family has a long-standing tradition of staying at the Westin St. Francis during the holidays, but this year, we were conflicted about returning since the workers were on strike. Unfortunately, we decided to keep the tradition alive, and I wish we had chosen another place instead. While the hotel itself holds a special place in our hearts, the overall experience this year was disappointing. There was a noticeable amount of trash around the premises, which took away from the typically elegant atmosphere. The protesters outside were understandably vocal, but the noise made it hard to relax and enjoy our stay. On top of that, the line to get breakfast in the morning was a frustrating 30-minute wait, which was far from the seamless service we’ve come to expect. We truly love the Westin St. Francis and everything it has meant to our family over the years, but this year’s visit fell short. We hope to return in the future under better circumstances when the labor issues have been resolved. Until then, we’ll likely look for an alternative for our holiday tradition.

    Dont Cross Picket Lines

    This looked like a lovely hotel unfortunately we decided to cancel last minute and rebook at an independent hotel instead. Workers have been on strike and we will not cross picket lines. It is a shame that the corporation has not resolved this yet, the workers deserve better.

    A motel at best these days

    This hotel has gotten so bad it’s almost funny. The St Francis was once my favorite hotel in SF, but their total lack of decency and respect for both employees and guests is insulting. They have closed the restaurants and bar for years, done away with room service, and only provide basic budget-level housekeeping. Employees are right to strike for this pointless lack of proper staffing levels. And the picketers pound drums outside the front door at all hours. I wonder how long Westin will keep their name on the building; even the front desk staff are constantly apologetic for the third-world conditions. Stay elsewhere.

    Good

    The hotel is in a great location, which is a relative statement in San Fran, what with all the homelessness and public defecation (which I witnessed). The room was large and clean. The lobby bar and restaurant were above average. I'd say it's time for an updating of the decor. The price was right. A worthwhile stay.
