Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco at Embarcadero

Definitely a nice hotel, but more like a good Hilton than a Four Seasons:Creativity - Rooms have great views, but windows are single glazing so even on the 45th floor you can ear the street as if the window was opened - Breakfast is expensive and average; bar is located on the ground floor... and if you want to enjoy the views on the 40th floor you need to go downstairs, pick your drink and take it with you by yourself! - Creativity is high when it comes to inventing surcharges e.g., a 7$ "Administrative fee" for in-room dining - Finally, getting the full benefits from the Amex Platinum FHR has been quite a journey. No upgrade, no free breakfast (originally). So not a bad stay but for 1000USD/night and the Four Seasons brand, I was expecting more.

The Four Seasons Embarcadero delivered on every expectation. Through FHR we were upgraded to a stunning bay-view room on the 48th floor, with a sweeping panorama of the Golden Gate Bridge — easily the finest view we've encountered across all our San Francisco stays. Worth noting for first-time guests: the hotel occupies roughly floors 38–48, so it's a boutique property by Four Seasons standards. This is reflected in the single restaurant and a lobby more intimate than you might anticipate — but neither felt like a shortcoming. If anything, the scale lends the place a refined, unhurried atmosphere. Staff were consistently warm and professional. Dining was excellent — food quality was high and service both prompt and polished. The location is a genuine asset as well: a short, pleasant walk to the Embarcadero piers, in a stretch of the city that feels noticeably cleaner than many other SF neighborhoods. For travelers who prioritize extraordinary views paired with an intimate luxury experience, this is an easy recommendation.

Spent a few days at this hotel while traveling around California. The location was great and the rooms were very nice. Definitely will return

Stayed here many times though never left a review. I love this place. My wife and I usually come for our anniversary and I've always wanted to bring the kids here so this was our first family trip. Getting the stuffed animals at check in was magical for them and I'm sure something they will always remember. I am always impressed with the service from the valets to the check in staff and housekeeping. Everyone is always so nice and accommodating. As always, I look forward to our next visit. No issues to report other than that once you stay here, it is difficult to stay anywhere else.

We had a great experience at the Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco at the Embarcadero. The staff is friendly, the food is excellent, the views are amazing, the location is ideal, and the rooms are well appointed. Also, it's not a large hotel so you there is a more intimate feel. Jacquelyn (Jackie) manages the hotel and is wonderful. She is very nice and goes above and beyond for the guests. We would return to this hotel just for her.
