Right from the moment we arrived the staff could not have been more helpful. We were slightly disappointed with our room on arrival we ended up paying a little more for a better room and access to the intercontinental lounge. The lounge was certainly worth the extra - excellent food throughout the day - the breakfast and wine in the... More

Wife and I spent two nights at the Intercontinental Hotel in San Francisco. Got a great rate on Hotwire. We had arrived early (about 11:30am) and the rception desk still checked us in early and gave us a nice room on the 21st floor with a great city view. Beds were very comfortable and room was nicely equipped. Location is... More

This place is like my home away from home, I love this hotel. It might have something to do with the fact that I've stayed there so many times. The staff is super friendly and can help you with pretty much anything. I love the rooms, the beds are so comfy I actually sleep restfully in them, the furniture is... More

We stayed here during a conference that was held at this hotel. Otherwise we would not have stayed here, or in this neighborhood. The room was large, plush, full of outlets, and fairly clean. Bed was comfortable. They have those motion sensor mini bars, one on the table, the whole fridge, and a drawer of snacks. I dislike hotels that... More

We recently stayed at the San Francisco Intercontinental and loved absolutely every minute of our stay. The service and professionalism of all staff, their courtesy - nothing was too difficult. The location of the Intercontinental was also well positioned; more than close to Westfields and within walking distance of all transport. Our driver was organised by the hotel who was... More

If you're in San Francisco on business, attending a convention or needing to be anywhere near downtown and the Embarcadero, then this hotel should be on your short list. It's very new, with nicely appointed rooms, large bathrooms, and very friendly and helpful staff. You'll find shoe horns, laundry bags, terrycloth robs and slippers in the closet. It's got a... More

This is the first time I feel like I was steered wrong by Trip Advisor reviews. This hotel was dirty at every turn, and I took a few pictures to prove that I'm not exaggerating. The building itself is gorgeous. We received great service from the doormen, the concierges and the maintenance staff (when the shower head fell apart). The... More

I stayed at the Intercontinental on business and was very pleased with all aspects of my stay. The hotel is very contemporary and offered great service. The rooms were spacious, especially considering the location, and were very well proportioned. The hotels location makes for easy access to many San Francisco attractions as well as other venues. There are a number... More

Good location ... GREAT location if you are going to the convention center. Well above average service ... not quite as good at the Taj Campton Place's service, but still very good. EXCELLENT VALUE ... the room I got (Junior Suite) was enormous, and the rate was quite reasonable even for a regular sized room. Floor to ceiling windows on... More
