Ideally set in San Francisco, citizenM San Francisco Union Square features air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a restaurant.

I travel a lot for work and usually don’t write reviews but the stay at citizenM was truly exceptional. I had stayed with their New York hotel before, so i knew it was going to be good, but this was even better than expected! - super stylish reception and lounge / bar / breakfast area - rooftop area - the check in (and checkout) process is extremely simple - the rooms and beds are so cosy! - last but not least, every single staff member i encountered was incredibly friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back next time I’m in SF!

Featuring in-room spa services and a traditional seafood restaurant, this luxury Fisherman’s Wharf eco-friendly hotel offers beautiful views across the San Francisco Bay. Valet parking is available.

Most hotels in San Francisco are around Union Square but the Argonaut being in Fisherman's Wharf was, for us, a much better area and an ideal location for seeing and doing everything in the city. There were many excellent cafes and restaurants and plenty of good shops both within a short walk. Alcatraz cruises, the Red and White Fleet Bay Cruise, the Sausalito ferry and the Big Bus hop-on-hop off and day tours were all within a few minutes' walk along one road. For this alone, I would highly recommend this hotel. It was a large hotel but never felt busy, it was spotless, and the staff were all lovely. We booked a king room with bay view and were on floor 3 overlooking Alcatraz for our 6 nights. It was a good size room with massive bed, sofa, coffee table, coffee machine, large TV, mini bar, set of drawers and a wardrobe with plenty of hanging space and a good size safe. There were plenty of charging points for plugs or USB and a specific mobile phone charger that you just lay your phone on. The bathroom was quite small but had a bath with shower and a good size sink with large mirror. Overall, this hotel more than met our expectations and the location just blows it out of the park.
