This is a great boutique hotel that has it all - plush rooms that won't break the bank, fantastic location and a wonderful staff. It's situated near the water, right across the street from the Embarcadero so many of the rooms have wonderful water views. There's also a great rooftop, a perfect vantage point to see the beautiful city. There's... More

Stayed at the Vitale last April for four days. Meant to write a review sooner but never got around to it until now. The hotel, the flagship property of the Joie de Vivre group (an overly cheerful name for a hotel chain, I must confess), is located reasonably centrally, by the Ferry building. Although the views from some of the... More

This hotel is right on the Wharf, across from the Ferry Marketplace. Right next to the hotel antique streetcars go from Union Square down the whole length of the Wharf from Pier 1 to Pier 43. The hotel staff are delightful, and will get you practically whatever you want. We asked for a table in our room to play cards,... More

We were there the weekend of the wedding where several attendees gave a rather negative review. We were not part of that and had a very different experience. The hotel is well located with the Ferry building being such a great place to stroll. We booked a delux water view and the view was spectacular. The room was small but... More

I was surprised by this little hotel, wonderful staff and a easy place for everyone to find, walking distance to the Ferry building and to the financial district at waters edge. The room was well appointed with large falt screen, wi-fi and a one of the most comfortable beds! This is not your standard large business hotels, so if you... More

We spent one night here before flying out to Portland. After spending a very disappointing night at a Kimpton property I booked this based on other reviews. We had a water view room. It was beautiful. Upon telling the desk clerk of our anniversary we were sent a bottle of wine. A nice touch. Location to the Ferry Building and... More

What a horrible experience. Stayed at the Vitale Hotel last weekend for a good friend’s wedding. With the group discount, the basic room was $219/night (not including taxes, etc.). The valet parking was $48/night. I don’t mind paying for a hotel room in an expensive city, but this hotel is managed as a cheap motel. Upon arrival, after leaving the... More

Stayed at the Vitale last night. We had four rooms. One for me and husband, one for our 21 year old son, one for my sister, and one for my parents who required a handicap accessible room. We had originally planned to stay at the Mark Hopkins and made reservations there for the four rooms. The Mark Hopkins offered a... More

We found the rooms and hotel very contemporary yet relaxing - the sound system in the room was particularly good. Luxury hotel, although when we took a walk just around the block it felt quite threatening. This could be a SF thing, the number of homeless people in the city was shockingly high and this contributed to the sense of... More
