HOTEL PALOMAR SAN FRANCISCO - A KIMPTON HOTEL

"Can't beat Hotel Palomar SF"

I recently travelled to San Francisco with 2 friends - we stayed at Hotel Palomar and were blown away at the friendly service and amazing location. A BIG thank you to Valeria who went above and beyond to help with our travels. Out of all 4 hotels we stayed in travelling the united states - Hotel Palomar was our favourite by far.

"Dependable Quality - Boutique Hotel"

Suite stay - two rooms with comfortable sofa and chairs in a living room separated from the bedroom by double doors. Worth the upcharge for a suite since I have family that likes to relax in a living room area with me for wine time. Deep soaking tub and separate shower. Mini refrig with beverages and snacks for purchase. Robes and safe provided. Quiet rooms. Nice amenities - plus bedside dual outlet for CPAP or recharging electronics. 2 flat screen TVs - one in separate living area plus one in the bedroom. Hosted wine hour is challenging here now as the wine is poured in the lobby during busy check in time. We took our hosted wine up to our suite to avoid the hustle and bustle of 5 to 6 PM front desk business. Dirty Habit bar / restaurant has outstanding bartenders and busy so be sure to book seats outside or inside a day before. Otherwise you will sit at the bar. Took Lorrie's shuttle to hotel - easy and relatively inexpensive unless you want to drag your bags on BART with Powell Street stop close by. Palomar can arrange a shuttle or towncar for return to airport - book the day before. Located across from the Marriott - Moscone Center. Palomar is our preferred hotel for Moscone conferences or simply shopping. Walking distance to all the great stores. Bristol Farms a short walk around the corner to get anything needed for stay. We purchase water, snacks, etc.to take to our rooms. Kimpton purchased by Intercontinental Hotel Group. IHG is lucky to get Kimpton!

"Great location"

Stayed here for business during a week-long conference. Rooms are comfy and modern. Really like the Raid the Bar idea. Only negative about this hotel - we booked a meeting room and there were no washrooms on the same floor. Had to go 4 floors down if someone needed to use the washroom - it's an inconvenience. Redeemed by great meeting food though - compared to other hotel food catering. Location is great whether walking to the convention centre, restaurants or street car. Will stay here for personal travel too.

"Fabulous"

I had a return stay at this hotel and the assistant manager made this experience wonderful in every way, knowing a few things didn't go perfectly the first time. The suites are definitely worth the visit- spacious, elegant, and have jacuzzi tubs. Many thanks to Valerie Washington for making this trip outstanding. I will definitely be back!

"Good location"

My wife and I travelled to SF for technical training for me, and we stayed 2 nights at the Palomar. We both like Kimpton hotels, and this hotel didn't disappoint with great décor. Our room was very nice, and the bathrooms were very clean. We had only a few complaints which we conveyed to the management: the TV would occasionally flip back to the default menu guide, not enough/convenient electrical sockets to charge the numerous devices we all carry these days (cell phone, tablet, laptop, and camera chargers for two people), and no appliance to heat water for tea in the room. They were able to help with the last problem, but not the first two. Also, the yoga mat supplied with the room (and we have seen this at other Kimpton hotels) mentioned a yoga channel, but none was available. Hotel management rectified the problem by bringing us a yoga DVD. Now that is customer service. Unfortunately, we did not get to experience the restaurant "Dirty Habit", but we did peek our heads in and it did look like a nice venue. On a final note, we are city walkers. If you like walking, San Francisco is a great city for this, and the Hotel Palomar is very nicely situated with so many places to explore North and South, East and West. If you are not a great walker, you can walk SW on Market St one block and jump on the famous SF cable car at Market St and Powell St. We definitely recommend the Hotel Palomar.
