The Westin St. Francis

The Westin St. Francis is a historic landmark hotel that holds the distinction of being the only hotel directly on San Francisco’s Union Square. Opening in 1904, it has become an iconic part of the city’s social and cultural history, hosting royalty, politicians, and celebrities for over a century. The property is famous for its magnificent lobby clock, a popular meeting point for generations of visitors and locals.

The hotel’s 1,195 guest rooms and suites are split between two distinct wings. The original Landmark Building offers rooms that reflect the property’s historic, turn-of-the-century European style, featuring high ceilings and classic decor. In contrast, the 32-story Tower Building provides modern accommodations with expansive, panoramic views of the city and San Francisco Bay.

A variety of dining and wellness options are available on-site. The hotel is home to Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina, a signature restaurant offering a modern American steakhouse experience. For more casual fare, Cafe Rito serves Italian coffee, pastries, and handmade pastas.
