The hotel

Put yourself slap-bang in the middle of some of San Francisco’s most fashionable theatres, restaurants, and sights. The boutique Marker Hotel is a great base — and its energy matches its setting. It was built in 1910 but you can still see its ‘Beaux Arts’ beauty in the lobby’s floor-to-ceiling fireplace and grand marble staircase. The hotel’s anything but olde-worlde though, with little touches like WiFi, and a Hydration Station providing fruit and herb infused water on tap.

We are so grateful to the team at The Marker for the incredibly warm and kind welcome we received after a long and stressful day of travel (delayed flight and lost luggage) The hotel is stunning, rooms are clean, well appointed and stylish but the staff are the real stars, so friendly and genuinely caring! Thank you for your help and kindness after the stress of our lost luggage, the wine was especially appreciated. The free coffee and tea in the morning is a lovely touch and all staff gave a gentle reminder when passing reception so it never felt awkward to go grab a cup! Thank you to all the staff for making a bad situation better in your beautiful hotel, we won’t forget your kindness. Read less

I was travelling solo as my daughter was unable to travel. Turn right great location near Union square and Powell street cable car. The room was great ,spacious with a small fridge water,refillable water bottles and a coffee machine. I did take my own travel kettle. The room was cleaned daily with fresh towels. The staff were absolutely fabulous. Everyone on reception was really helpful especially Melinda. Also Mike the maintenance man. The guys in Tratto were all really welcoming and the happy hour 4pm to 6pm. The food was lovely as well. All in all a great stay. I would love to return at some time in the future. Read less
