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.

Great staff, beautiful common spaces and a nice room made our stay wonderful. Got a great deal through our Amex so it was an easy choice. The good reviews were legit and we will be back. Tasty free coffee and tea in the morning. Bonus there is an authentic French bakery one block away called Carousel Bakery that is a “must do” if you visit!

Not the perfect location, however the great staff and facility made up for the shortcoming of the location. Food and service at the accompanying restaurant was excellent.

Short stay, but the staff and the hotel were great. The double queen bedroom was clean, cozy, and quiet. I recommend the hotel to all no matter the occasion.
