The Marker Hotel - Union Square

Union Square, San Francisco

Virgin rating

The hotel

Put yourself slap-bang in the middle of some of San Francisco’s most fashionable theatres, restaurants, and sights. The boutique Marker Hotel is a great base — and its energy matches its setting. It was built in 1910 but you can still see its ‘Beaux Arts’ beauty in the lobby’s floor-to-ceiling fireplace and grand marble staircase. The hotel’s anything but olde-worlde though, with little touches like WiFi, and a Hydration Station providing fruit and herb infused water on tap.

Second time in SF and we had no doubt: the Marker is our choice! Beautiful hotel, nice service and cozy room. From check in to check out the staff provide us a very pleasant stay. Blanca was thoughtful and efficient whenever we need! Simply put, we want to get back.

I love staying here every December for Christmas. The staff is always so friendly and I love getting my usual mushroom and garlic pizza at the restaurant.

Very nice hotel in an excellent location. Two blocks from the Bourbon and Branch and right in the center of downtown. Lots to choose from for bars and restaurants. Friendly, attentive staff. The only bad side is paying $50 per night for parking.

I had the Pleasure of working with Jazmine, Jessica and Angeline. Our Marketing team decided they were going to team building event and we had about two weeks to get it together. These ladies MADE IT HAPPEN! They were responsive attentive and just a pleasure to work with. We needed about 10 rooms and a conference room and had to ship some items to the hotel for the event and they made it all happen!! There was changes being made last min request and these ladies took care of every last detail. When our staff returned each and everyone of them expressed what a wonderful time they had and how much they enjoyed their stay here! The location was great, the property was beautiful, everything we asked for was done. And the pricing was very affordable. Read less
