LUMA is a modern Mission Bay hotel close to Oracle Park. Its rooftop restaurant and gym suit design-minded city stays. Union Square and the waterfront require a short ride.

Omni San Francisco occupies a grand former bank building on California Street. Cable cars and the Financial District are close by. The traditional style feels formal rather than contemporary.
citizenM sits near Union Square with lively shared spaces and compact rooms. It suits short city breaks and travellers who value location. Room controls rely heavily on a tablet.
Hotel Nikko is a large Union Square hotel with an indoor pool and Japanese dining. Its facilities suit longer central stays. Resort fees and busy public areas may not suit every trip.
