What is the best San Francisco hotel for your San Francisco Weekend Getaway? These suggestions should be helpful in making a decision out of the numerous choices in this city.
Location or neighborhood and price will probably be the deciding factors in choosing the best hotel in San Francisco.
Here are a wide range of options in different locations and price categories to give you the best San Francisco Hotel for your situation.
Embassy Suite Hotel San Francisco
- 250 Gateway Boulevard (near airport - (South San Francisco). This is the perfect choice to create a discount family vacation package to San Francisco. Our family has stayed at this hotel several times. It's perfect in that with the suite there is plenty of room for a family, there is a delicious breakfast buffet that you can fill up on, and there is a pool for the kids when you return home from a day of sightseeing in San Francisco. There is a complimentary shuttle from the airport to the hotel. So, you can combine this with a 3 day Muni Passport (includes the BART from the airport to downtown) and your transportation..cable car, too!...is taken care of for your weekend getaway. We rented a car when we stayed here (BART wasn't going to SFO then) and that worked out fine, but parking in the city can be a challenge.
Holiday Inn Hotel San Francisco - 1300 Columbus Avenue (Fisherman's Wharf). Dependable Holiday Inn in a great location.
Hilton Hotel San Francisco (3 hotels to choose from) - 2620 Jones Street (Fisherman's Wharf), 750 Kearny Street (Financial District), 333 O'Farrell St (Union Square).

York Hotel in San Francisco - 940 Sutter Street (near Union Square, theater district). Famous Alfred Hitchcock "Vertigo" stairs. Old syle classic.

This is located at Fort Mason in a National Park with beautiful views of the Golden Gate Bridge. It is close to North Beach, a good location.
