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.

The staff were very courteous and went out of their way to make us comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic. I am a Celiac and they labeled food clearly for allergies. Lots of gluten free options available.

Great hotel
Aug 24, 2025craig wBristol, England
The hotel was in an excellent location. We didn’t have a car and could do everything we wanted eg Alcatraz, cycle over Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower. Lombard Street, China Town, watch the Giants baseball etc.
The breakfast was awesome. Set us up for the day.
The pool is nice.
Would recommend my friends and family staying here.
Great location for Fisherman’s Wharf

Decent hotel in a great location. Rooms were a little dated, but clean, quiet and comfortable. Queue for the included breakfast was so long that we had to go elsewhere or miss our booked trip which was frustrating.
another good RIU hotel

I was guest in RIU Chicago and decided to use the chain again this time in San Francisco for 4 nights. Good location, excellent breakfast (though quite crowded after 7.30am), spacious rooms - all what you need for sightings.
Great hotel in a fabulous area.
