The hotel

An ideal base, Stanford Court is fresh, fashionable and at the centre of everything on your to-do list. Enjoy sweeping views of the city, the bay and the majestic Golden Gate Bridge from its great spot, atop historic Nob Hill. You're close to Union Square's top shopping, dining and attractions, just steps from the historic cable cars, and a short walk to Chinatown and Fisherman's Wharf too. The hotel's restaurant has a seasonal menu celebrating the Bay Area and California's culinary artisans. Whilst in its hip, stylish lounge setting, why not try one of their hand-crafted cocktails or maybe a glass from the extensive wine list.

A comfortable and well-appointed stay in a historic building that feels current not dated. The location sits at the top of a very steep hill, which is worth knowing in advance as the views are excellent but every return trip on foot is a real leg workout. The covered off street entrance is a nice plus, making Lyft pickups and drop-offs easy in the weather. Check-in was hassle free and the room was a good size with ample storage and a well-equipped bathroom with sperate sink and shower area and reliable hot water with good shower pressure. The hotel bar has a classic feel and is worth a visit. Breakfast is available but not included, so better suited to those on an expense account. Read less

I've been a guest for 5 night. The place is well positioned, rooms are comfortable and elevators are fine. Even with one being closed two others handled rush hour quite well.
