The biggest drawback to the hotel is that you can hear every word and noise coming from the next room. One suggestion: when possible, do not assign guests to rooms adjacent to other occupied rooms.

The Palace is a beautiful old building. I had 2 nights in a comfortable well-decorated high ceilinged room with a street view. Superbly situated with a BART station on the airport line at the door. Staff attentive. The palace jewel is the Garden Room, the main dining area. Large elegant, with golden marble columns, spectacularly intricate glass ceiling and detailed... More

I stay here often on business and never fail to be overwhelmed by relaxing in the spectacular center atrium of this grand hotel. It's the best thing about the Palace Hotel. The breakfast buffet in the atrium is expensive but absolutely worth it for the ambiance and good food. After coming in from a day of business meetings or touring,... More

The Palace is so convenient to many places - we walked to union square, ferry building and AT&T park. Mongtomery Bart Station is right outside the Market St door. Staff was generally nice...the concierge person, Debbie Lew, was the friendliest and so caring! The front door staff was great and very knowledgeable. Front desk was so-so...didn't really greet us with... More

This is an amazing historic hotel in the center of the financial district/civic center area of San Francisco. Both the small and large rooms have a lot of character. The lobby area is amazing and this hotel is only 1 block from the BART station as well as trams. There is a Starbucks and Jamba Juice a half a block... More

My fiancé and I just got back from a wonderful trip to California that was made all the better by our fine experience at the Palace. I cannot say enough good things about our stay here.

I stayed here for one night in May (for a work conference) and the hotel was fantastic. The event space was outstanding as there was a ton of light from the glass roof and the general amenities of the hotel were outstanding. The room was very comfortable with high ceilings that made the room look much bigger than it was.... More

I spent two days here in mid-May. Every staff member I encountered was especially friendly and helpful. Our suite was beautiful. I would stay here again if I am lucky enough to be back in the SF area.

Lovely hotel for vacation but convention offerings disappointing. Service was as expected for a high end hotel. Parking is tad pricey. I stayed at the hotel for a conference and the plated dinner reception was not good. The food was average but the service was awful. Plates and glasses were just dropped in front of you, the napkins were thrown... More
