The hotel is approximately a 20-minute drive
from San Francisco International Airport and approximately a 30-minute drive
from Oakland International Airport. Cab fare from San Francisco’s airport is
approximately $50 one way, while fare from Oakland’s airport is approximately
$65 one way. Ride BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) from San Francisco
International Airport to the Powell Street station for less than $9 one
way.
The pulse of San Francisco can be felt across the city, and one of the most recognizable is Union Square -- known for high-end shopping, dining and Union Square Park. The Italian-inspired Villa Florence sits less than a five-minute walk away, and is up Powell Street from Westfield San Francisco Centre.
When you aren't busy shopping, step right outside the hotel to catch a historic cable car on Powell Street and ride it along the line to area attractions like Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39.
High ceilings and an ornate chandelier in the lobby give off an elegant vibe. Drawing from the high fashion inspiration of Florence, the guestrooms received a chic renovation in 2015.
Grab some breakfast or an Illy coffee at Struzzo, the on-site restaurant and bar. For dinner, try Italian-inspired dishes like Chianti-braised short ribs and roasted vine ripened tomato soup with parmesan crostini, or close the night with a drink at the bar.

The valet parking situation is a nightmare! No place to park the car when we got there. We were told to keep driving around the block until one of the other cars could be moved. Every time you drive around the block its 30-40 mins because of the congestion. Would pay for parking somewhere else if I ever returned. Definite downside to this hotel.

Everything else was wonderful. Just don’t say they will take off half of resort fees and they did not.

You said they would take off half of the resort fee and they said no. Miss communication.

Location was great. Walking distance to almost everything.
The only downside is getting to the hotel because of the limited entrance into the street ,where the hotel entrance is located and valet parking is not the greatest.

Very hard to get to without proper instructions by hotel. It's on a street that specifically says you cannot drive on (it's for trolley cars only) but apparently it is allowed for hotel guests but there's no way to know that. The Valet was not polite. The hotel was INCREDIBLY loud and the windows do not keep noise out. You absolutely need to bring earplugs.

Location is awesome - easy walk to Union Square, Westfield, Yerba Buena, even walked the 1+ mile to AT&T Park for Fan Fest

Loved everything about this hotel, the only drawback if any is that with older historic buildings, the sound insulation is a little lacking, and you therefore hear a LOT of street noise unless you run the A/C all night and wear earplugs (which we did). Great staff, great accommodations, enjoyed the breakfast buffet too.
