Star Service
"It is in a relatively off-the-map locale for tourists and despite the recent loss of Kimpton it remains a prize that resides blissfully beneath the radar for most out-of-towners. " Full review
Gayot
"This hotel is situated one block off the Embarcadero near the Bay Bridge, and therefore has one of the best bayside views the city can offer."

Time Out
"Rebranded in 2006, the former Pan Pacific hotel is far enough from Union Square that guests can avoid the crush, but close enough that the shops are mere steps away." Full review
Star Service
"At the corner of Mason Street, one block west of Union Square, and six blocks shy of the Bank America Center and the Financial District, this...is in an excellent location for business and pleasure." Full review
Gayot
"Despite its size (21 stories and 329 rooms in all), the JW Marriott San Francisco has a decidedly intimate atmosphere amid the bustle of Union Square."
