My wife and I periodically stay in SF and have really enjoyed the Vitale.

The location is excellent -- right on the water next to the Bay bridge. What's more on Saturday's you are then right across the street from the fantastic farmer's market -- you can cruise through and get a great and quick breakfast from one of the vendors with some really great coffee.

Meanwhile, the hotel is set up in sort of a green, spa sort of vibe. Muted colors and soothing settings all over.

Be sure to try the soak tubs on the roof, as well as the view rooms looking right at the bridge.

A lovely hotel. Very trendy and friendly!
Great location, it is worth going to the 7th floor and onto the terrace for the view of the Oakland Bridge.
Be warned, on a weekend the bar is very popular with the locals and gets very busy!

My sister and I stayed at the hotel to celebrate her birthday. Celebration also included the treatment at the hotel spa and dinner at a hotel recommended restaurant. I chose the hotel primarily because of the great reviews it had received here at TripAdvisor.

The room was great. We were upgraded at check in so the room had great view of the water. The bathroom as well stock with excellent toiletries and the oxygen can was an interesting touch. Room had a nice HDTV, although the TV would benefit from HD signal.

Hotel staff was polite but not particularly friendly. I’d have been nice to get a smile. The check-in process didn’t go smoothly as we were given the wrong key, so we had to head back to the front desk.

We were late for the spa so ended up getting charged for the full process for half the treatment time. Which is fine but I would have preferred it if they had explained this as oppose to just presenting the bill. Better communication would help here.

The concierge recommended the Asian fusion restaurant which was very disappointing. Drinks were undrinkable, my napkin and silverware were dirty.

During checkout we didn’t even receive a farewell. I had written an extensive feedback to the hotel on how they could improve but they never acknowledged it. Again, our overall experience was disappointing.

Overall, the stay at Vitale was excellent.

Friend and I stayed there from June 1st to June 5th. Location is really good, rooms are clean, comfortable and nice. Nice feature is the roof top terraces. Good restaurants nearby, and the light rail station is just around the corner of the hotel. Very convienent to take as it goes down market street, or to the warf.

I would definitely stay here again.
