The Stanford Court, San Francisco

San Francisco, California

Star rating

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.

Decent service but the building is definitely old and has not been renovated. Rooms were small and not befitting considering the price tag. I booked through Booking.com and selected the only breakfast available, but upon reception was notified that Breakfast was not a Buffet but a voucher where I was allowed a decent but not filling breakfast.… Read more

Good hotel for a few day stay, but by no means a luxury or high-end hotel. Read less

Booked a Solo trip to see the bridge and found myself here for two nights and three days. It was a wonderful and actually great location. Highly Recommend the tram rides and the staff is great with food recommendations. Jeffrey was awesome!

Great location and comfort for our family of four using husband’s work trip as a vacation for myself and 9 and 4 year olds.

Great location and comfort for our family of four using husband’s work trip as a vacation for myself and 9 and 4 year olds. The kids were made to feel extra special in the mornings through the kindness of Shirley, Honeybee, and Carlos each morning at breakfast in the lobby. The gym in the hotel is actually really great (if I don’t go early while everyone is sleeping there is enough space to give kids screen time out of the way while I get a lift in). Hotel is located at a Cable Car stop so we purchased the unlimited 7 day muni (muni mobile app) pass and hopped on and off the cable car whenever we liked. Waymo pick up and drop off was also a breeze. This was our second stay here and we will be happy to return. Read less
