The Westin St. Francis- San Francisco Historical Hotel

The Westin St. Francis- San Francisco Historical Hotel

When I had the opportunity to stay at The Westin St. Francis, memories of my childhood flashed back. I couldn’t wait to live out my childhood dreams of staying there, especially with my husband. 

Weekend getaways are hard to come by now that we have children, so we take full advantage when the grandparents offer to babysit. 

The moment you step into the lobby of The Westin St. Francis, you are dated back to the 1900’s. This well-preserved hotel offers guests the grandeur of the past, coupled with contemporary luxury and style.

An historic Magneta Grandfather Clock welcomes you along with marble columns, ornate balconies and intricate woodwork that transport guests back to the elegance of yesteryear.

Once we were checked in we headed towards the elevator of the rather large lobby. Being that The Westin St. Francis is located in Union Square, many non-guests are often seen coming in and out of the hotel lobby.

Our pleasantly spacious suite was located in the corner of third floor with a view overlooking San Francisco’s Union Square. Keeping with the theme of the lobby, the room displayed the history with its very “1900’s meets chic” decor.

One of my favorite details to the room was the chandelier that hung right above the bed. The gorgeous chandelier really makes this shabby chic feel, more accentuated.

The bathroom is a bit small (which is normal in San Francisco) compared to the size of the room but is beautifully decorated. The waterfall shower head in the bathroom was a godsend that welcomed me every morning.

Nothing like starting your morning with a nice, hot shower followed by a cup of freshly brewed Starbucks coffee in your personal coffee maker while sitting from your bed looking out onto Union Square.
