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.

Nice art deco style hotel. Rooms well equipped. All staff friendly and helpful. The Italian restaurant attached to the hotel seemed quite popular. We had drinks there. Our only complaint would be rather miserable waiters in the restaurant!

Stayed here for a quick business trip - Melinda at the front desk was so helpful! She helped me get settled in and answered all my questions. The room was clean and I enjoyed my stay even though it was brief. Convenient location to my company’s office.

This hotel is tucked away in a quiet spot by Union Square. The location is great, close to highways and local restaurants, and has easy access to the Golden Gate Bridge. Our room was so cozy and clean, the bed was the best! Coffee is complimentary with unlimited refills, and their breakfast menu was pretty good. The highlight for me was that the towels did not have that strong bleach smell that's often there in hotels; they felt super clean without it. Overall, a 10/10 stay and cannot wait to be back!
