San Francisco is a fascinating, endlessly fun and unique city, and its hotels are much the same. But for many travellers, one of the biggest criteria is to bag a hotel with a pool.

In this collection of the best hotels with a pool in San Francisco, we've covered chic, renovated old motels synonymous with touring indie musicians, all the way to palatial, luxurious city stays...in other words, there's something for everyone!
For Value chic

- A favourite amongst touring musicians, Phoenix Hotel is just minutes away from some of San Francisco's most famed music venues. An old motel given a cool, modern makeover, this indie boutique offers chic rooms centred around a spacious swimming pool. A great place for couples or young people seeking the city's beating heart. And the best bit? It's decently priced for San Francisco!
City in style

- Hotel Nikko is a sleek, modern hotel set in a high-rise in the heart of the city. A cool blending of Japanese-style décor with chic, modern furnishings, the rooms feature swirling shapes, splashes of blues and whites and floor-to-ceiling windows. The innovative restaurant is a must, combining Japanese cuisine with a Californian touch, and the swimming pool is divine! Perfect for couples on a city break.
All out luxury

- Emanating the grandiosity of Versailles both outside and in, the Palace Hotel is a wonder of neoclassical design. Walking through the grand arched lobby, beneath the glittering chandeliers and marble columns, you'll feel like you've stepped into an older, more beautiful era. The rooms stand in marked contrast: plush and contemporary, without the ornate frills of the restaurant or sitting areas; The swimming pool and gym afford spectacular views of the city at night, and the spa will pamper you silly. This is luxury at its finest, right in the heart of the city. Astounding.
