Riu Plaza Fishermans Wharf

San Francisco, California

4 stars

Just a pleasant stroll from the shops and entertainment at Pier 39, and the ferry to Alcatraz, the Riu Plaza Fisherman’s Wharf makes a stellar base to explore from. The hotel’s relaxed and friendly vibe is ideal after a day’s dim sum dining, cable car riding and selfie snapping. Your room is suitably airy and comfortable, you can kick back on the sun terrace by the outdoor heated pool, and, perhaps our favourite part, you can hangout by a crackling fire pit in the outdoor living area.

“Great location and amenities”

Oct 25, 2025bethjos

My sister in law and myself wanted a fun, adventurous and relaxing San Francisco vacation. It starts with where you stay. The Riu had great reviews, was in a supurb location for folks who want to walk or take mass transit or Waymo only. The thing that sealed the deal was the INCLUDED breakfast. It was a fantastic start to each of our big days. The protien infusion of bacon and eggs along with some carbs, fruit, and coffee kept us going until mid afternoon. We only needed one other meal each day. Some other hotels near ours looked run down or not as secure. We felt very safe at this clean, busy, well cared for hotel. We are even looking at Riu other locations as we look forward to planning our next adventure. Oh, and the beds were great for a couple middle aged ladies who walked ALL the hills of San Francisco! Highly recommend.

Excellent location, clean rooms. Would definitely stay here again. Breakfast Buffet was one of the best we have experienced.

“Great hotel for ship cruisers”

Oct 24, 2025GeorgiUshev

We selected Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman Wharf for its proximity to San Franciso Cruise Ship Port, with the added benefit of easy access to Fisherman Wharf. [Also, we have very positive experiences with Hotel Riu sites in Costa Rica.] We were very satisfied with the hotel! If we take future cruises out of San Francisco, we very probably will stay at this Hotel Riu again.
