The hotel is so grandly beautiful, and the people here are super nice. Krisna, Morey, and Matt at the Front Desk were ever so kind and helpful. However, the rooms are in such a shabby state of disrepair that I would not considering staying here again until after their renovation. We had badly stained furniture, carpets, and walls in our...

My husband and I stayed here last year and absolutely loved it. It was historic and great for a mini honeymoon trip. The staff was very nice and although the decor is very dated it is a part of it's charm. Feel like you were transported into the early 1900's. Would definitely stay here again.

For being a Luxury Collection Hotel, the services, in-room amenities, furniture and cleanliness is kind of disappointing. -The carpet was stained and old (not dirty, just stained) -The furniture is out-dated and battered -The room doesn't even have a coffee service inside -The pool could use a little up-keep, etc... Luxury collection has always shown the attention to details and... More

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly and taken care of. Paul, the doorman, was very helpful and went out of his way to make suggestions for things to do and see. It turns out, we needed him more than we ever thought we would. I experienced a back spasm that first night and ended up sleeping on... More

My family and I stayed here for one night on a driving trip down the California coast. The hotels is a grand dame in the city where you have many hotel choices.

Stayed here for work and thought the staff was friendly and flexible. I checked in early; front desk agreed to change my room (first one smelled like a hospital). Rooms have high ceilings and a big window. Nothing hugely special but nice. Great gym (and a good-sized pool). You can walk to so much from this location. I enjoyed staying... More

Having stayed in many good to great hotels in San Francisco over the years, we were surprised to find that one of the best ones in town is not overpriced like its peers. We had both a deluxe room, and then a large suite at the Palace at prices well below what we have come to expect in SF. Both... More

I recently stayed at the Palace Hotel for 5 nights while in town on business and it exceeded my expectations on service, which compensated for any reservations someone would have on parts of the hotel feeling slightly "tired". The hotel is a must stay for anyone who appreciates old world charm. My room was very clean and tidy, despite that... More
