Melissa BalesMarch 27, 2014The Intercontinental Hotel provides two POPOS (Privately Owned Public Open Spaces) on the fourth and sixth floors. They have various seating arrangements and landscaping, each with views of the City
CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014A great location, one of the coolest hotel bars we found in the city, and a super gym which you will probably want to hit up in the morning before the feasting begins.- Sanaz LimoueeMay 23, 2017Great location, friendly staff, comfy beds + linens, quick valet service + two public outdoor spaces on the 4th + 6th floors.
Rich MondorFebruary 4, 2016Great place to stay...close to the financial district and anything you need. Great staff and bartenders! Stay here enough and once they know you its like family!
Order a beer and ask for a free Wi-Fi password in the bar to avoid paying $14.95 a day -- and to get a beer. The code will work in your room too.
Mitzi Y.November 23, 2023Great views of city skyline from west facing rooms. 6th floor gym is open 24/7 and has a FloWater machine where you can refill water bottles.
Tim MortimerMarch 13, 2015They treat you with respect. open the door for you. The place is very technology advanced. Overall a great place to spend your time. When you're not having fun in San Francisco.
If you've eaten too many burritos during your SF trip, try to do a mini-triathlon at the gym (30 min swim, 5 mi bike, 3 mi run)
If you sign up for a completely free IHG membership you get free Internet and free 2pm checkout. Even if you never use points it's worth it. Stay above 8th floor for an unobstructed view.- Bec VaughanNovember 5, 2015Amazing how 'luxury' hotel chains think that nickel & diming you on water and wifi creates a good customer experience.
Travelivery - Redefining the Way You Travel.January 21, 2014You'll find that this hotel is close to everything. You're within a 5 minute walk to several restaurants, shopping, a movie theater, and the Moscone Center. http://sf.travelivery.com Read more
really luxury experience.very nice and helpful staff. sweet complimentary of fruits and wines. love it.
Nice upscale hotel, clean big rooms with a nice view over San Francisco.
RexJanuary 28, 2018Although this hotel is relatively new (2008), the rooms and hallways already look very dated. Another guest was there when we checked into our room, and they offered free breakfast as an apology
Apparently the terraces on the 4th and 6th floors are publicly accessible open space. So go nuts, public!
- This place looks modern but actually feels dated. The level of service, at best, was reasonable but nothing more and below that of other IC properties. Corner room had great views. Lounge enjoyable.
Amazing place. At a walking distance to almost anything. Great SPA- Going swimming? I think you gotta swim about 66 lengths/33 laps to get a mile out if the 25m pool. Do it!
Eric RuesgaDecember 28, 2013For free wifi you can suscribe to the "intercontinental rewards program" (or something like that... Can't remember the name) :)
- Tiffany KocielkoSeptember 1, 2015Great hotel! Had an amazing view of the city and was close to everything!
This was the pillowcase housekeeping put on our bed. Looks like a bandage from the civil war.
Yateema4everNovember 10, 2015It's in the downtown so you can walk any where you want😉 room service is cool but limited in food choices!
Marina BrewerJuly 4, 2013Parking is $60 a night... Included breakfast is for 2 guests even if your reservation is for 4. Breakfast is $28 even if you're 7 years old. The pool was an afterthought very tight area with no seats.
Ellen McGrodySeptember 21, 2015Didn't stay at the hotel but the Grand Ballroom is a wonderful meeting space and the lobby is gorgeous.
Paola RDecember 28, 2013Fabio, a bellman, is super nice and friendly! The hotel is really nice but the parking is sooo expensive!
Isaac StevensFebruary 17, 2014Corner rooms are awesome. Floor to ceiling windows offer amazing views.
Tim PursellAugust 22, 2015The handicapped "stall" in the lobby restroom is a stand alone bathroom with power outlet and cloth towels.
Shelley SusmanOctober 5, 2013Free computer access in Club Longe plus outdoor patio to enjoy champagne breakfast.- Jon GluckOctober 7, 2010Chef Concierge, Bill Sutton, is as good as it gets! He'll give you descriptive recommendations that will make you want to go wherever he points RIGHT AWAY!
Kathryn HoodecheckFebruary 12, 2012Brunch is great - we had huevos rancheros and a waffle - both were fantastic!
Simon SageMarch 27, 2013Room keys are RIDICULOUSLY sensitive. Keep them away from your phone or the keys will be fried.
Ryan KAugust 16, 2011Relatively spacious, nice and clean rooms. Great location in SoMa, and beautiful gym.
Cedric de NeefAugust 7, 2013In the lounge you shouldn't play childeren's programs ! The hotel is quite nice !
Francis PindarSeptember 15, 2012JC on the front desk is super helpful! Best service I have had at a hotel!
