We recently spent a week at the St. Regis San Francisco (my wife and two sons 17 and 20). I can honestly say that my stay was one of the best experiences I have encountered in years. The service was impeccable, rooms magnificent, and location is within walking distance of shopping, dining, Moscone Center, and sights. San Francisco is one of the great destinations of the world and as such has its share of world class hotels; The St. Regis ranks as one of the finest anywhere. The rooms are modern, sleek, high tech, and clean; some rooms having magnificent views of the bay and city. As mentioned in other reviews, you really don't want to leave. We were treated as would be expected in a 5 star hotel without stuffiness or insincere over the top attentiveness, while at the same time, being responsive and attentive to our needs when expected. They refer to you by name, and to me, though not essential, is always impressive. If you like old world decor, this is probably not the place for you. The decor is very modern, with a Zen quality; light, simple lines, fresh, natural, peaceful. The bathrooms are luxurious, and bedrooms, though not huge, are spacious and comfortable. The beds are comfortable and fabrics rich. The most impressive thing (though when you first arrive it seems austere and cold), the staff is warm and attentive, and the Hotel's attention to subtle details, creats an intimate hotel experience, much different than what you get from the large, impersonal business hotels. The hotel meets and exceeds expections, and although not inexpensive, you don't feel cheated, we felt that we paid for superior service, decor, and quality, and we received it. Overall a great experience, as I look forward to our next visit.
