San Francisco Hotel Accommodation Options

Much More than Your Traditional Room!

Many tourists comment that one of the greatest aspects of visiting San Francisco is the wonderful variety of San Francisco hotels that cater to all interests and budgets. Accommodation options range from expensive world-renowned properties such as the Westin St. Francis and the Mark Hopkins, to familiar national hotel chains and also smaller hostels and bed and breakfasts that make the most of your traveling budget. The most popular traveling season in San Francisco is during the summer months, so it is a good idea to take a look at the different San Francisco hotels early to reserve your favorite place. Remember, when you are traveling it is important to find a home away from home, and San Francisco hotels are eager to provide you with this and many more conveniences!

San Francisco Hotels by Neighborhood

When you are beginning your search for San Francisco hotels, the first factor that you should consider is the neighborhood that you wish to stay in. The most popular sections of the city that tourists enjoy staying in are: Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square, Nob Hill, and the Financial District. However, although these are the most traveled sections of town, you do not have to limit your trip to these areas. There are also many other interesting smaller neighborhoods that offer unique and interesting San Francisco hotels. Consider Chinatown, the Castro, and Russian Hill as well!

Where to Stay?

  • Stay in a San Francisco hotel in Fisherman's Wharf if you enjoy the traditional tourist opportunities including great shopping, wonderful eateries, entertainment, street artists and vendors, museums and art galleries.
  • Stay in a San Francisco hotel in Union Square if you are interested in exploring the many upscale luxury stores and shops that surround the neighborhood. If you are looking for a specialty store, Union Square is your place!
  • Stay in a San Francisco hotel on Nob Hill if you a desire a supreme luxury hotel, but make sure you have a very large budget to go along with it! San Francisco hotels on Nob Hill are quite pricey and cater to very wealthy clientele. Even if hotels on Nob Hill do not fit your budget, make sure to drive through the neighborhood to see the exquisitely designed buildings!
  • Stay in a San Francisco hotel in the Financial District of the city if your trip to San Francisco brings you here primarily because of business activities. However, this neighborhood has great history and hotels and is located very close to most San Francisco attractions.

Budget-Friendly Accommodation Options

You do not need to spend hundreds of dollars to stay in San Francisco hotels - in fact, there are many other options that are much more interesting and easy on the wallet! Consider staying in a bed and breakfast for a good night's sleep in another's home with a delicious hearty breakfast in the morning. Or, check out many of the different hostels that are located throughout San Francisco for the cheapest accommodation around town. Whereas the average room rate for San Francisco hotels is around $150, hostels range from $15 to $75. Hostels are very inviting places where you can cut costs by sharing a room and bathroom with other people who are visiting.

What is a hostel?

  • A "low grade" budget hotel where you share a bathroom with people on the same floor.
