Gayot
"This hulking hotel --- situated near Yerba Buena Gardens and the Moscone Convention Center --- is affectionately referred to as the Jukebox by locals, because of its scalloped shape."

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."
