Hotel Emblem San Francisco

Guests who stayed here loved

“What stood out for me was the staff. Everyone excelled at being extremely helpful. One of the lamps wasn't working, and it was fixed (or replaced) by the time we returned to our room. We received daily housekeeping service, which seems like a little thing, but many hotels have stopped offering it, and I've come not to rely on in most places. Coming into a clean room with fresh towels always put a smile on my face. At check-in we were offered an upgraded room, and at my request one that faced the street (to avoid side wall views). The room was larger than expected; I appreciate a room that has a sitting area and a desk (which I used every day). Every detail of the room was thoughtfully curated, from the fascinating wall graphics, to an extremely comfortable bed, to bedside USB charging ports, to a bulletin board over the desk, to thoughtfully placed lighting, to a beautiful and functional bathroom (with its own window), to a nice nespresso machine, complete with pods and creamer. I especially appreciated the lobby level coffee/pastry restaurant. The hotel restaurant and bar were very inviting, but our schedule didn't allow time to explore. It was definitely a plus for many guests. The hotel has a single elevator for its seven floors, but it was remarkably efficient. I rarely had to wait. Finally, I hadn't been to San Francisco since the pandemic, and I had prepared myself for a city in decline. Quite the contrary. The city felt alive and safe. Overall, this was a real find, only steps from Powell Street and Union Square.”
