“Well placed for Union Square”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

I enjoyed staying at the Palomar as the staff were very pleasant and the rooms a good size for a city centre hotel. As a first time tourist, quite a few of the things I wanted to see and do were located at the other end of town and, although it is walkable it takes quite a while and I... More

“Great property, good location, friendly staff”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

Brought the family along on a business trip. Well-located for my financial district meeting and close to Yerba Buena Gardens and other activities. Took BART/streetcar and did not bring a car. Great location. Staff was helpful. Room was excellent. Would stay again.

“The City: the hotel!”

This hotel is strong on what a traveler needs: location, clean, comfortable room/bed and friendly, efficient staff for a reasonable price. We arrived at SFO and used BART to within feet of the hotel entrance. For a couple of car trips to the Peninsula and Marin we used Zipcar that was located in the hotel basement and made reservations using... More

“Great location, great value, great service!”

I bounced around a lot looking for the right location for a reasonable rate. I got lots of input from friends, but we wanted to stay in a nice hotel without spending a fortune and without being next to a really bad part of town. We scored big time by finding the Palomar!! I had a great experience, great service,... More

“Great hotel close to convention center”

Reviewed 13 May 2013 NEW

We stayed at this hotel for GreenBuild in November 2012. It is in a wonderful location to walk to the convention center as well as Union Square AMD lots of restaurants. The staff was very accommodating and went out of their way to handle our shipping needs ad were great for arranging a special limo trip to Napa.

Greetings WestonCouple from the Palomar San Francisco. Sounds like a special trip for your group, Napa! Of course I love the location of our hotel here in San Francisco, but it also makes the perfect destination for trips either up north to Napa, or down south to Carmel or Santa Cruz. We are smack in the middle. I am happy... More

“An excellent hotel”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

I had a couple of nights of business travel in San Francisco and was looking for something different than generic Hiltons or Hyatts. The Palomar was both close to where I was working and fit the bill for different. The staff was friendly and efficient and the hotel all I could have hoped for.

Hello RBPhilip- Thanks so much for choosing us, with so many hotels downtown, I am pleased that you chose to give us a shot! From your review, it sounds like met and possibly exceeded your expectations. We will certainly be here next year, I hope to see you walk through that door again. Safe travels, Chris. More

“Great location , good service and not to expensive”

The Palomar Hotel in SF is located centrally in the city, close to Union Square and next to the SF Center Mall, two blocks from the Moscone Center, so very convenient. The hotel is clean and the rooms are spacious with good taste. the windows are double panel to avoid street noise and they work great. Service is good and... More

Hello MV_Trotamundos from San Francisco! Thanks for the review, and the recommendation. I am glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. One thing I absolutely love about our hotel, and you mentioned it; is how quiet it really is once you are inside.

“Perfect for a vacation or a business trip!”

I am in hotels at least twice a month, and it takes a lot to impress me. Sadly, I have become quite a hotel snob, and just can't understand why hotels do some of the things they do. From now on, I will be holding all hotels up to Hotel Palomar in San Francisco. I have always been a Kimpton... More

Suzbr7- Wow, your review was great, thank you!! You know, back in 1980 when Bill Kimpton started the Kimpton Hotel chain- he knew what he was doing, and it shows today. The complimentary wine hour, pet friendly, yoga….. Just to name a few. But I think that the most important legacy he left was starting what we now refer to... More
