Hotel Zelos San Francisco (formerly the Hotel Palomar) resides in the historic Pacific Building, which opened in 1907. The Pacific Building was originally built as office space, however, the 5th to 9th floors became the Hotel Palomar in 1999. Due to the original layout, the guestrooms are larger than the average hotel room in San Francisco.

I had an incredible experience at Hotel Zelos and can’t recommend it highly enough! The staff made me feel like a VIP from start to finish—friendly, responsive, and always willing to help. I stayed here for two weeks, and my new friends at the front desk even upgraded me to a King suite, which was spacious, beautiful, and so appreciated! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Moscone Center, right next door to Trader Joe’s, and a few hundred feet from Target, which was super convenient. The hotel itself is boutique-style, with just a few dozen rooms per floor and two impressively fast elevators. The on-site restaurant and bar are fantastic for breakfast, dinner, and cocktails. I also loved that you can earn a $10 food or beverage credit each day you skip housekeeping—such a nice touch! If you're driving, there's a safe, attached parking garage. They also accept packages and go above and beyond to make your stay seamless. Whether you're traveling for business or fun, Hotel Zelos checks all the boxes. I’ll definitely be back!

Great hotel with decent location can walk most places within 30 minutes, staff friendly and rooms clean, enjoyed my stay was convenient for us as a couple to get to all attractions! Abit rough outside with homeless but it is everywhere in California the hotel is safe

The hotel is perfectly located downtown close to a lot of stuff and public transportation. Be aware that the bar/restaurant is in the middle of the hotel so there’s loud music playing at night. The restaurant food was very tasty. The cocktails were good and not too strong. The front desk people were very professional and friendly.
