InterContinental San Francisco

Staying at the InterContinental San Francisco was a fantastic experience.

The hotel’s location is ideal: just steps away from the Moscone Center and within walking distance of the BART station, making it super convenient for getting around town or heading to the airport. I signed up for IHG Rewards during check-in and received a few small perks—always a nice bonus. Breakfast was pricey at $40 per person, but the quality and variety made it worth it. The amenities included Byredo products, which added a luxurious touch. Overall, this is a solid five-star experience—nothing flashy, but everything executed well.

Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco

Staying at the Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco was an exceptional experience. The room was immaculate, with modern amenities and a spacious layout—perfect for a suite. We were greeted with fresh fruit and a personalized welcome note, which added a nice touch of luxury. The front desk isn’t located on the ground floor, so you need to take the elevator directly to the reception area—but it’s well-organized and efficient. The hotel's location is unbeatable: just a short 800-meter walk to the Moscone Center, making it ideal for business travelers. One downside is that breakfast isn’t included, not even a buffet option—so we had to order separately. However, everything else more than made up for it. The neighborhood felt safe and clean, with no visible homelessness, which gave peace of mind. From service to ambiance, every detail reflects the brand’s high standard. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Francisco.

Everything about the stay felt seamless and well thought out. Excellent service and a great location in Union Square make this hotel a top pick for future visits.
