W San Francisco
A sleek, sustainable San Francisco high-rise
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.
Five-Star
These are outstanding, often iconic properties with virtually flawless service and amazing facilities.
Four-Star
These are exceptional properties, offering high levels of service and quality of facility to match.
Recommended
These are excellent properties with consistently good service and facilities.
Soon To Be Rated
As our highly trained, incognito inspectors work to assess properties, our editors check them out ahead of time and provide a sneak preview of what to expect.
Although it has many of the signature trademarks that characterize a W Hotel, such as the luxurious goose down bedding and Davines MOMO amenities, W San Francisco is still quite unique. It’s the first W to install a state-of-the-art fitness center, a dynamic circular-shaped space filled with cardio, Pilates and strength-training equipment. It was also first to implement a keyless room entry system that allows you to use smartphones or Apple watches to gain access to your accommodations.
The lobby and ground-floor living room reflect the city’s grid-like design, with black-and-gray-paneled walls, plush gray couches with brightly colored accent pillows. It also has a massive LED display of
San Francisco that serves as a backdrop to the stylish check-in desks.
There’s also mood lighting, music and special details like floor mats that spell out specific greetings (good morning, good afternoon or good evening) that are changed throughout the day.
