Palace Hotel - Luxury Collection - San Francisco 37.78841, -122.40198

Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis hat die Erwartungen übertroffen. Ein wunderschönes Hotel und eine Top Suite zu einem Preis, für den man sonst ein Zimmerchen erhält. Das Frühstück ist teuer, aber erstklassig.

Altes, nobles Haus mit sehenswertem Speisesaal sowie modernem SPA (Fitness, Sauna, Jacuzzi und großer Pool geeignet zum echten Sportschwimmen), sehr freundliche Bedienung. Die Zimmerqualität war in Ordnung, entsprach aber nicht dem hohen Preis (Blick in grauen Hinterhof, Normalbad mit Duschvorhang, Qualität des Zimmerservices stark schwankend, dicker Staub in den Ecken, Kühlschrank im Eispanzer, kaputte Leuchte). Den Concierge – Service (begleitete PC-Auswahl) kann man sich sparen, das geht schneller mit kostenloser WLAN vom eigenen Zimmer aus. Die Lage ist exzellent. Sehenswürdigkeiten, Theater und Shopping zu Fuß. Straßenbahn, Cable Car, U-Bahn und Regionalbahn (Flughafen, besser als Shuttle und Taxi) direkt vor der Tür. Hotelparkhaus kostet 48 Dollar pro Nacht.

das ist ein sehr schönes Hotel in absolut zentraler lage. leider war die von uns gebucht suite nicht bereit gestellt und erst nach langer diskussion wurde uns eine Suite zur Verfügung gestellt. dann aber leider auch nicht die suite mit 2 Queenbetten, sondern nur eine mit 1 Kingsizebett. Da wir zu viert waren, wurden uns noch Zusatzbetten ins Zimmer gestellt. dies war natürlich sehr beengend.

Das Palace ist in einem guten Zustand, günstig an Bushaltestelle und F-Linie gelegen, die Zimmereinrichtung ist gut, der Indoorpool ist zwar schön aber laut, Union Square ist ca. 5 min Fussweg entfernt, die Umgebung ist ziemlich sicher

Sehr schönes altes Hotel mit einem tollen Schwimmbad und einem umwerfenden Frühstücksraum. Sehr gut am Rande des Einkaufsviertels gelegen mit sehr guter Anbindung an die Cable Car.

Wir haben uns selten so wohl in einem Hotel gefühlt. Sehr freundlicher und kompetenter Service. Großes Hotel mit fast familiärer Atmosphäre.

Das Hotel ist wunderschön. Die Lobby, die Glaskuppel, der alte Flair, sind genial und sehenswert. Es gibt natürlich allen Service, den man in dieser Hotelkategorie erwarten kann. Allerdings fanden wir, dass beim Servicepersonal selbst ein bißchen mehr Herzlichkeit schön gewesen wäre bei den 4 Sternen. Das Zimmer war supersauber, auch staubfrei, bis auf einen Vorgängersocken, den wir unter dem Bettüberhang gefunden haben... Die Betten waren super, man sinkt in sie hinein und die Decken waren mollig und angenehm. Der Pool und Spa selbst ist unter einer weiteren Glaskuppel mit Blick in die Hochhäuser. Genial. Leider ist das Wasser sehr gechlort und Fußboden und Wasser waren leider verunreinigt. Die Lage in Downtown ist auch gut.

Our room was nice, what I had expected! Great service. Parking is kinda expensive but also expected. Had a very enjoyable stay and would stay again!

Not much to say, best hotel for the money in SF. Perfect location for business travelers who want to experience what SAF has to offer. Around the corner from Chinatown, Union Square, and a superquick cab ride to Fisherman's Wharf. Staff is exceptional.

Loved the hotel.... did not like the picketers outside the hotel but it was not the hotel problem! Will be staying again..

Beautiful hotel in a convenient location for a convention at the Moscone Center.

The only downside of staying at the Palace was how warm the room was. Window wouldn't open to let in fresh air. We propped the door open and that helped. Other than that: excellent staff, beautiful hotel, comfy rooms, great beds ... tasty coffee served downstairs at 5:30a (we were in town for the Nike Half Marathon). Bathroom was clean, shower nice and hot. Highly recommend staying here! We will be back for the 2010 event and will plan to stay here.

This hotel is not cheap, but I would say you get what you pay for. Great location, great service, great room!

The walls are extremely thin and you can hear everything that your neighbor is doing. I wanted rest and this is not the place to get it. A fire alarm disrupted my sleep for about 30 minutes and I wasn't even offered any sort of compensation.

This is a beautiful old hotel with a lot of tridition. It is beautifully maintained and appointed, from the hugh vase of rosed to the stained glass ceiling the lobby impresses. You know that you are in a quality location. The room was beautiful with high ceilings and lovely linnens. Love this type of place. Here you get what you pay for.

Very grand and historic hotel, not for the modernistas of this world. We booked it up due to good reviews and good deal available. On entering, the Palace is very grand and opulent, with large chandeliers and high ceilings. Good location, right near Union Square. Staff helpful enough - although I did clock the tea person tapping their hand impatiently against the trolley as I made my tea in the foyer just before 10am then whizzing the trolley away (I'm guessing they finished at 10am!) Room was good size and clean with nice tv, but walls are thin as you can hear other people quite easily. It was also very sparse and not very inviting, bathroom had greyish/cream toilet seat - not exactly luxury although bed was comfortable enough. No tea or coffee making facilities are available in the room and the water is not complimentary - $7 a bottle! Was just tired and could have done with updating, stayed in more "Luxury" hotels for less.

Everything was Great! Beautiful old style hotel centrally located. We were able to walk to Union Square for shopping. Employees were very friendly. Food was very good.

It's hard to find a hotel that isn't overpriced in San Francisco, but I was expecting more from this hotel. Nothing is included, and the business center is very expensive.

Easy to get to by BART from airport since it stops right outside hotel. If you are using public transport apart from cable cars, lots of buses and street cars stop right outside hotel, so excellent way to see the city. Also since you are in the business district, lots of places to eat breakfast / lunch. Hotel itself well looked after. Everything quite expensive. Room service charges very expensive so avoid unless really hungry in the middle of the night. No free internet or wifi in the room which is disappointing (but knew about it already) but free wifi in the lobby. No coffee/tea making facilities in room but freely available every morning on lobby. The cafe attached to hotel is great for breakfast. Room good with gowns and nice toiletries. Thoroughly recommend but book through hotel.com for good rate since hotel rates are very pricey if booked direct.

We live in the Bay Area, and decided to spend a night in the City before school started. My daughter likes to swim, and this hotel is one of the only hotels in SF with a pool. It was our first stay, and I could not have been more impressed. Staff were wonderful, pool, spa and workout area were in superior order. The room was clean (we were given a free upgrade to a larger room), beds were super comfy and the shower was like a rainforest in heaven. After shopping and dinner out, I wanted to stop for coffee, but the Starbucks was closed so we stopped in the Hotel Bar. The bartender gave me a cup to take to the room - on the house. My duaghter was admiring the art on the wall which sis a painting of the Pied Piper. He gave her a small copy of the print with the story on the back of how it came to be on the wall in the Hotel. We had a wonderful stay,and will go back at our earliest opportunity. Will definitely recommend it to friends and family.

Great old hotel. While it is older, the hotel has been maintained very well. No need for a car - there is a Bart Station that lets off right across from the hotel. It is also one of the few hotels with a pool. Be careful though, the pool deck is smooth tile and is very slippery. Rooms were adequately sized. We had a family of four with two double beds. Given the size of the rooms, the hotel could easily add to everyone's satisfaction by using queen beds - though, in reviewing other hotels in the vicinity - I did not come across others that had queen beds either. We did have some very noisy neighbors on our last night - up late with a crying baby and up early as well. I don't know that the hotel could have really done much about that. All in all, a very nice hotel for our four day stay.

All in all, we were very happy with the Palace Hotel. The bed was very comfortable, and the room was comfortably sized. Use of the pool and jacuzzi is complimentary (unlike some other hotels in San Francisco), and although the jacuzzi was quite small, it did the job just fine. There is a BART and MUNI station just outside the door, but we actually just walked to a lot of places, given the hotel's central location. We would definitely stay there again.

We spent 4 nights at this elegant and stylish downtown hotel on our Californian vacation. I can't say enough about the Palace. The room was spacious and comfortable enough for the three of us travelling together. The hotel itself is well located, minutes from both the Ferry terminal and the central shopping areas at Union Square and Market Street. The historic trolley bus service to Fisherman's wharfs stops right outside the door. All in all, an outstanding experience and we will be back.

We are frequent business travelers and I think the appearance and general elegance of the hotel is on par with a Ritz (grandeur). The Palace Hotel is gorgeous, with a beautiful atrium-like garden court where we enjoyed the breakfast buffet spread for three days. I thought the service was excellent as they gave us great restaurant recommendations, all within walking distance. We originally booked with Palace to swim with our children everyday, but the pool is probably below 82 degrees and in the evenings, it can get pretty crowded. That said, is plenty to do and enjoy in SF! For those of you who want to rent a car, I would suggest using a cab instead, which is what we did. The parking is expensive and less convenient. All in all, we would definitely recommend and return to the Palace. (Our alternatives at the same price point were Hilton, Westin and Omni).

We love the grandeur of this hotel. The ambience and bar are terrific. The rooms are comfortable but on this trip I made a complaint to housekeeping and they corrected my complaint (dusty lamp shades) and sent a fruit and cheese plate to make amends. We will continue to frequent this hotel!

First the bad: Our pre-paid Deluxe room was on the 8th floor - highest floor with rooms. The room faced an inside well - and being on the 'top' floor we had more diffused sunlight then a lower room would have. It was explained that the layout of the hotel the "deluxe' rooms were larger and the larger rooms were on the inside. The room itself had a piece of furniture so stained and gross - we had it removed - which they did quickly. Stall shower only (built into a bath tub so small only a child or someone with great knees could fold into it). 3 lamps - not one for reading in bed - and you had to get out of bed to turn them off. Room service trays littered the hallways at ALL hours of the day - we saw the same trays in the AM still there in the late afternoon. The bed was simply worn -soft - old. Business center computers billed at close to $1.00 per minute The good: The Concierge service was fantastic - Room service was excellent (expensive but that's to be expected). Dining under the dome - buffet on Sunday - the waiter saw we ate light and adjusted the bill without asking. This could be a great hotel - if they put some money back into the rooms.

Very expensive basic package. Everything else you pay for. $7 for a bottle of water in the room is proof of this. As advertised, complimentry bottled water in the room,only the first day!! Complimentry coffee in the lobby, only up to 8am Week Days!! It would'nt be too much to expect coffee making facilities in the rooms. This is a very elegant Hotel maintained to the very highest standards, except for the Pool and Jaccuzi area. We found this area to be in a poor condition (Unclean), completely out of character with the rest of the Hotel. If you want a Market Street view room, make sure it is on the upper levels, there is alot of street noise and we were on the third floor. I believe that there is better value to be got in the San Francisco Area.

Excellent hotel, excellent service. Good size gym, sauna, pool and jacuzzi. The only negative thing I could think of is arriving to room while housecleaning was there. But it only took a minute before she was done. I highly recommend this hotel!

Loved our stay at the Palace - the only thing I would suggest is nicer towels!! In an establishment such as this you expect fluffier, softer towels. Otherwise, wonderful!! Highly recommend.

I booked this room on a great deal knowing it may not be great. The offer included no view and 275 sq ft. All I can say it there was a big smile when I walked in. Bright, classic, large, period features (original), fridge, modern TV, and very very clean and comfortable. Certainly would stay there again.

The hotel is exactly as it looks on its website. Its lavish glamour and charm will not disappoint. Felt like a real treat to be going back to this beautiful hotel after a long days sightseeing. Beautiful foyer, the garden room is gorgeous and the bed extremely comfy. Staff at reception very helpful and charming would recommend family and friends to stay here when visiting San Fran.

We got a great room at a great price, and then paid $48/night for parking. We walked everywhere and never needed the car. The Pied Piper bar was wonderful; service was slow but it was very busy. We would stay here again, but take CalTrain or BART to get here.

Everyone was very nice to us. It was pride weekend and typically I don't get treated as well as other people because of the way I look. I look young and like I don't have a ton of money. That is not the case but I tend to get bad service cause of it. I know that I was treated just like anyone else at the hotel. We ended up staying an extra night because we loved the hotel so much and wanted to shop more.

The Palace is a National Historical Landmark, and a beautifully maintained one. In fact, City Tours offers a one-hour tour of it three times a week, which we took and found very interesting. The beautifully restored Garden Court shouldn't be missed by any SF traveler. Just a block or two walk to SF Museum of Modern Art, SF Historical Society, Contemporary Jewish Museum, Museum of the African Diaspora, and Yerba Buena Gardens. Lunch or snack at the Farmers Market in the Metreon for authenic African, Indian, and other ethnic foods. Public transportation is excellent, with BART's Montomery stop at the corner of the hotel, and Market Street buses and trolleys. If you're looking for big rooms, a complementary breakfast, and kid-friendly amenities, this probably won't be the place for you. For those of us who relish the opportunity to peek into SF's storied past, this is a good choice.

Hotel was great but the beds are too low and the pillows should be king size for a king size bed. Would love to stay there again in September but you have not posted any good rates yet.

Excellent location, close to bart station and only 2 blocks from union square. Tram stop outside. Rooms clean and decent size. Swimming pool was an added bonus.
