Gracing San Francisco's famed Nob Hill, just minutes from Union Square and the Powell Street Cable Car, the romantic White Swan Inn is ideally located near Chinatown, North Beach and some of the finest restaurants in the city. With a crackling fireplace in all 26 guestrooms and suites, dark wood paneling and enchanting English artworks, this atmospheric member of the the Joie de Vivre group is a stunning tribute to the intimate hotels of London.

White Swann Inn was a true gem. The location was wonderful because it was close to many public transit options as well as a short walk from restaurant choices and sites. The rooms were ample in size, not a matchbox like so many older hotels, and they were primarily quiet, for which I was thankful. Additionally, we enjoyed the staff. The front desk personnel was always helpful, going in depth to provide information about restaurants or transit options. The cleaning staff were cheerful and the gentleman who serviced the dining room was dutiful and pleasant. The downstairs dining area was cute and comfy with a big fireplace, a couple of rooms to hang out in as well as a small open-air patio. The breakfast was filling and we especially enjoyed the wine and cheese event each evening. High recommendation for White Swan Inn!

I stayed at the White Swan Inn with my family and we had the Abbey Suite. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. It was so nice to have two bathrooms for our family of 4. We loved the wine and nibbles hour the hotel provides. The staff member who works at that time did such a great job. We also enjoyed the breakfast that was provided. Delicious patries! We would definitely stay again and the location is great!

No welcome, only a receptionist hidden behind his screen. No smile. Cold atmosphere Poor breakfast . Only porridge and coffee…. We requested specific room for our honeymoon. Not possible without any advise. Never come again in this hotel

A quaint, comfortable hotel with only 26 rooms and unique decor. The bed and pillows were of good quality, the room was spacious and very quiet. The wine/snacks get-together in the evening was a delightful added feature that made the experience special, especially with the attention from Francesco. The reception staff were also superb, with a special thanks to Lisette, Cody and Paris. We would definitely stay here again.

It's an absolutely recommendable hotel in San Francisco Downtown. It's employee's profesionalism, the hotel is pretty nice, perfect location, breakfast, cheese and wine included and cost/quality relation. A hotel I will repeat in my next stay at San Francisco.
