San Francisco has a number of iconic views. From the modern skyline of the Financial District to bay views looking out over Alcatraz or the Golden Gate Bridge. To enjoy the whole picture from above, choose a hotel in upmarket Nob Hill. Or perhaps you would rather be right on the waterfront in bustling Fisherman's Wharf? Whatever your preference, our Hotel Gurus have scoured the city to bring you a collection of the best hotels with views in San Francisco. From all-out luxury stays to fun family-friendly properties, there is something for everyone here.
For bay views
- Harbor Court Hotel, as the name suggests, is ideally positioned overlooking the bay, situated between the Financial District and Oracle Park. Stylish contemporary interiors make the most of the industrial building's proportions. Located near many of the city's sights and offering bicycles to get around.
- Perfectly located near Fisherman's Wharf, the Argonaut is a stylish hotel offered at great rates. Nautically themed rooms feature exposed brick and luxury bathrooms. The best have bay views. An ideal base to explore the city from.
For families
- Hotel Zephyr is a laid-back stay situated beside Fisherman's Wharf. The best rooms have private balconies to enjoy the bay views from. While the inner courtyard is filled with activities making this a perfect choice for families.
For luxury
- The Fairmont Heritage Place Ghirardelli Square is a luxury all-suite hotel offering a landmark setting on San Francisco's bay. Suites range from one to three bedrooms and in-suite fine-dining makes this a very indulgent stay. For a special occasion book this property for private group terrace dining overlooking the water.
- Fairmont San Francisco is another luxury offering by the same hotel group. Somewhat of a landmark property, this hotel has seen the likes of Tony Bennet sing in the Venetian Room. Choose a suite with panoramic views from the expansive windows (complete with a telescope to truly enjoy them!).
For a boutique
- Hotel VIA is a stylish contemporary boutique in the city's trendy South Beach. Expansive rooms enjoy wonderful views from the large warehouse windows (the best look across the bay). However, to really enjoy the city head up to the roofterrace for an evening cocktail.
