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

"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)."

"This B&B-style hotel overlooking Washington Square has large, airy rooms decorated in modern shades of taupe and cream."
Frommer's
"This small, comely, European-style bed-and-breakfast is ideal for older couples who prefer a quieter, more subdued environment than the commotion of downtown San Francisco." Full review
Fodor's
"Overlooking the tree-lined park of its namesake and surrounded by fine shops and cafés, this gracious corner B&B sits at the foot of Telegraph Hill in the heart of North Beach." Full review
Lonely Planet

DK Eyewitness
"One of the few hotels in the North Beach area, this is the only one facing Washington Square Park, where you can watch people practicing Tai Chi or strolling around the park."
Time Out
"Close to one of San Francisco's prettiest urban parks, in a quiet part of North Beach, this is a convivial little inn." Full review
Gayot
