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)."

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

Rough Guide "Its rooms are a tech-lover’s dream – each is equipped with a 42-inch LCD TV with a plug-in panel, Bose sound system, ergonomic office chair, and wireless internet."
Fodor's "The hotel features a state-of-the-art fitness room and technologically savvy meeting rooms." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The public areas are glamorous, and the bedrooms refined and elegant. Business travelers will find the staff extremely helpful."
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."
Zagat4.5
""Far above par", this Downtown "luxury" chain outpost "delights", from the bright "soaring" lobby to the "comfortable" quarters."
Forbes Travel Guide Recommended
"JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square is a colorful and urbane hotel just steps from San Francisco’s bustling Union Square, the Financial District and the Embarcadero." Full review
Jetsetter "A casual, tranquil vibe above the hubbub of downtown (an impressive feat in a 337-room hotel), and a staff quick to anticipate your every need." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The hotel tends to attract a strong following of business travelers, but the great bathrooms and amenities, as well as proximity to Union Square, would appeal to travelers of all stripes." Full review
