What an absolute gem of a hotel in San Francisco! Stayed here at the start of the New Year and loved every minute. Check in was very efficient and the lovely girl on reception gave me a room on the 24th floor which afforded some great views over the city. Al, the security guard, always seemed to be on duty...

Hotel is in Soma near Moscone Center. Rooms are immaculately clean and quite roomy. They are tastefully decorated in a modern design with a great bathroom. My only warning is that the valet parking is $55. Look around the hotel for cheaper outdoor parking lots. More

Staying here for business was perfect as it is close enough to most things, but still easily accessable by cab or hire car. Straight, open, easy roads around the hotel leads simply onto the freeway for visiting silicon valley. If you want to stroll into town that's pretty close too. However, if you are a tourist you may find the... More

This hotel served as the "overflow" hotel for the 2012 ASCO GU meeting, which itself was held at the nearby Marriott Marquis. I am delighted that I was referred to this porperty. The rooms are spacious, the breakfast is excellent and the fitness facility is well equipped. The location just next to the Moscone Convention Center is ideal for the... More

The Intercontinental is clean, accessible, and does the job. The rooms are on the smaller side (compared to the Four Seasons San Francisco and other Intercontinental hotels), but the bathrooms are more spacious relative to the actual bedrooms. The room I was in only had a shower, so you are not guaranteed a bathtub. The bathroom products no name products... More

I stayed at the intercontinental SFO on a business trip in January- hotel is conveniently located downtown within reasonable walking distance to the waterfront, Chinatown, and just a block from the Moscone West convention center. I had a room on the 28th floor with a FANTASTIC view of the city. Rooms are clean and nicely appointed- bed was very comfortable.... More

We just had a Foundation board meeting here and they did everything very well. the food was good and the space was just as we planned it. This is also a very good location if you plan to attend any conventions as it is right down the street from the convention center. More

Really bad experience in particular the woeful service, the rooms and the location. This really is a business hotel as it is next to a huge conference centre and has lots of rooms itself. When we were there it was overwhelmed with a conference of salespeople and this was between Christmas and New Year 2011. The service was the highlight... More

The hotel was nice and just a 2 block walk to all the shopping and touristy stuff at Market St. and Union Square and right next to the convention center. The bar had a good selection of high end gin and they knew how to make a martini. Room was nice but typical big city pricing. I paid over $300... More
