"A budget-friendly boutique hotel on a convenient but unstylish block off Union Square, the 177-room Galleria Park Hotel has nice touches like free Wi-Fi and an "urban garden" terrace." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"Opened in 1911, this eight-floor Art Nouveau hotel is located between the financial district and Moscone Convention Center, just a six-minute walk from Union Square." Full review
Time Out
"Next to the Crocker Galleria mall, this boutique hotel built in 1911 was looking a bit frayed until the Joie de Vivre chain recently snapped it up and poured in $7 million of updates." Full review
Star Service
"Located two blocks north of Market Street and three long blocks from Union Square, this hotel continues to provide comfortable courtside accommodations for tourists, shoppers and middle management." Full review

Avoid second-floor rooms because function space on the same level infringes on their privacy.

"The predecessor to this 177-room, Financial District boutique property was the landmark Sutter Hotel, which opened its doors in 1911."

Rough Guide
"South of Market highrise outpost of the pricey hotel chain that thinks it’s a nightclub."
Michelin Guide
"The 'W' doesn't really stand for wonderful, witty, or wow, but all perfectly sum up the style of this corporateloving hotel."
Frommer's
"As modern and hip as its fashionable clientele, this 31-story property suits its neighbors, which include the Museum of Modern Art, the Moscone Center, and the Metreon entertainment center." Full review
Concierge
"The San Francisco outpost of the W hotel chain is popular with conventioneers for its proximity to the nearby Moscone Center... But the hotel is comfortable as well as trendy."
Fodor's
"The epitome of cool urban chic... this swanky 31-story Starwood hotel owes some of its cachet to a prime location next door to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art." Full review

Fragrances waft throughout the hotel and guest rooms, so sensitive noses should call ahead to request special preparations.
Time Out
"This trailblazing, chic and ever-so-slightly snooty urban hotel chain continues to expand around the country, but it hasn't yet reached the point at which hip and fashionable turns to yesterday's thing." Full review
Star Service
"Monday through Friday this hotel is all about business, but come Friday the energy is fun and frivolous.

Gayot
"Given the sophisticated and modernist decor of this SoMa property, it's fitting that the hotel is located adjacent to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art."
BlackBook
"Sleekly appointed hotel has co-opted the concept of yuppie Wonderland. Three-story octagonal glass entrance leads straight to the lobby bar (brilliant)."

4.3
""If you're looking for a place to party", this "popular", "stylish" SoMa chain boutique is a "fun" "favorite", with "chic", "gorgeous" quarters."
