Description


Location. The Intercontinental San Francisco stands adjacent to the Moscone Center in San Francisco, Calif. The San Francisco Shopping Centre and Yerba Buena Gardens are located three blocks from this property.
Hotel Features. Opened in 2008, the Intercontinental San Francisco hotel is housed within a 32-story translucent, cool-blue glass tower that ascends over the South of Market district. The hotel's restaurant, Luce, serves California-influenced American fare and Italian cuisine prepared with California ingredients. By night, the restaurant transforms into a celebrity wine restaurant. Bar 888, located in the lobby, serves cocktails, wines and spirits. A total of 39 flexible function rooms includes two ballrooms. The largest function space accommodates 1,000 people. Wireless Internet access is available in public areas for a fee. A 24-hour business center offers photocopy, print, fax and administrative services. I-Spa massage therapists offer a range of treatments from Swedish and deep tissue to Thai massages and hydrotherapy. The spa contains a Vichy shower, a sauna, a spa tub and an outdoor terrace. The 24-hour health club features a wellness center, an indoor pool and a spa tub. The fitness center contains cardiovascular and weight-training equipment, and free weights.

Guestrooms. This smoke-free property offers 550 contemporary guestrooms with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame city views. Rooms are appointed with rich wood furnishings and marble accents. Poppy-hued armchairs and ottomans brighten neutral color schemes. Beds feature pillowtop mattresses draped with 350-thread count linens. Rooms include 42-inch plasma televisions, iPod connections, and high-speed wired and wireless Internet access for a fee.

Expert Tip. The Intercontinental San Francisco philosophy adheres to the belief that nothing replaces a live, human response. As such, every guestroom features a telephone button that connects directly to a customer-service manager who personally relays requests to the hotel's service departments.

Would DEFINITELY stay there again!

The hotel is located right across the street from a great little Italian restaurant that is really good for large groups or families!

if all intercontinentals are like this, i'll def be booking again!

This hotel was in an ideal location for union square. it was also near a bus stop that took you into fisherman's wharf and the route to the golden gate bridge. Having said that public transport is ace, although most palces are accessible by foot.

Noisy but nice

Brand new hotel, so lacking in character, as with most US city hotels. Breakfast expensive ($30), Concierge adequate only. Bar too small but buzzing on the weekend. Room very comfortable with exceptionally comfortable bed. Only major downer is the proximity to the fire station which is very busy. Room soundproofing to this level of street noise is not good!

San Francisco Intercontinental

The hotel is new and the room was very clean and modern. The only problem I had with this hotel was that when we checked in, none of the passenger elevators were working, so everyone was led to the freight elevator by the hotel staff. The elevator stopped almost on every floor until we got to our 18th Floor. Smooth sailing after that. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious accomodation at a reasonable price.

Great hotel

Modern, clean with great facilities. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Room was very big and spotless the only criticism was that there was not sugar or milk for coffee and tea - seems odd when there's coffee making facilities, we asked for some and go sweetener. Not a major problem and the only thing we had to criticise. The pool was great - and actually long enough to have a swim unlike most hotels. I'd recommend this over the other hotels I've stayed in SF especially if you like modern.

San Frans Best

The Intercontinental was absolutely the most fabulous hotel I've stayed in. The staff were by far the most gracious and accomodating ever! If you are in the area and want to be pampered, stay at this hotel...you will never forget it.
