    Had a very nice stay at the Intercontinental in San Francisco in September. This was my second visit, and both times have been great. On my most recent visit, we had the good fortune of staying in a corner room. The view was cool, the room was spacious, the bed was comfy, and the furniture was modern. The service was great-we had a positive experience with hotel staff from check in, to a quick dinner, to getting coffee in the morning before we departed. I only wish our last stay wasn't so abbreviated!

    Stayed at the InterCon SF for a week on a biz trip and had a great experience. My room was clean, modern and super comfy. I'm a terrible sleeper and actually slept so well here that I came home and already ordered the mattress and pillows (seriously)! They use Byredo products in the rooms, quality stuff, though the specific scent is a bit too strong for me. The staff was friendly and helpful across the board, though the bar was definitely understaffed. Great bartender, just solo and overwhelmed. Not his fault. I had club lounge access, and it ended up being my fave part of the stay. Amazing views, always stocked with snacks, food, cocktails and had genuinely the kindest staff. It quickly became my go-to spot to catch up on work and escape the chaos of the conference. The location was perfect. It was a short walk to Moscone Center and surrounded by restaurants. Also a nice walk, about a mile to the Embarcadero which was calming to take in the views. Would absolutely stay here again.

    Very nice Lovely place to stay! The rooms are very nice, super clean, comfortable and large. Our first time staying with them and we loved it so much. At the heart of the Beautiful San Francisco very close to more of the attractions. Highly recommend!!!

    Easy and fast check-in by Dani (so sweet btw). Fitness gym? Yes. Very nice with a TRX virtual workout machine, machines for chest/back that goes up to around 100lbish, Dumbbells up to 50lbs, yoga mats, typical cardio machines (treadmill, stair master, elliptical), and a little area where you can do some core workouts. They also had disposable earbuds to plug into the cardio machines. Restaurant? Located main lobby but food looked really expensive but there's a lot of little fast food places within walking distance. Location? Great location across a gyu kaku with a Trader Joe's and Target a few blocks away. My girlfriend and I felt safe walking around but still was cautious because there are homeless people around but spread out in other areas not directly in front of the hotel itself. But my only gripe is that valet parking is $86/night and uber/lyft was so much easier to use. Overall I'd definitely love staying here again for Pride weekend!

    The fabulous dive bar within walking distance from the hotel.

    I had a magical 4 night stay with first class service. The hotel management really nailed the sparkling Deadhead decor. The views from the top floors on the convention side are completely unobstructed. The indoor pool and hot tub was a perfect way to start and end each fabulous day here. The bar is pricey with choice ingredients and there is also a funky dive bar within walking distance worthy of a visit. I recommend the luxury feel, prime location and 1st class experience offered here.Best of the Best hotel.!Bravo!

    Enjoyed our short stay downtown in the financial district of SF. It's a La-te-da kind of stay. Immersed in the hub of daily living and grind. We got see many professionals appear for the Config Con happening at Moscone. Enjoyed seeing my old haunts and experiencing the famous hotel that Barrack Obama stayed several years back. The staff are/were wonderful. Many went out of their way to give us an optimal stay for comfort. Yes, of course please stay here next time you're in town. Plenty to experience and see in this neighborhood. If It's happening in SF, it's going to be here. Stay in luxury and the comfort of being local to it all.

    Was there for a company party. Very lavish on the 3rd floor banquet room. Food displayed nicely in front outside the banquet hall. The beef flat iron was very tender (highlight). Potato scallop with cheese was delicious. The mozzarella with tomato. Cheesy macaroni. Very dry chicken, maybe slice it next time to thinner cuts. The fish was dry, not sure, some kind of white fish. Plenty of grilled veggies. The dessert egg nog pot de cream was good. Peppermint chocolate cake was ok. The gingerbread muffin was dry. There was a vegan table but there's a sign to cater only to vegans. Plenty food untouched. Service was fast and they do work extremely hard in taking away dirty plates. Lovely self help coffee and tea, with lemon and honey. We jad a ice ctram dundae station. Fresh fruit compote and nuts, cherries, and spinkles on your own. Great party. Great venue. Parking inside hotel was a bit expensive. Company reimbursed.

    My partner had a free IHG night expiring so we decided to do a staycation in the city here. It exceeded expectations! The area is close to some less savory streets but the downtown location is central and convenient. Everyone that we encountered that worked there from front desk to bellman to bartenders were super friendly and helpful. The room itself was fantastic - spacious, great view (with an automatic shade that rolls down), and huge comfortable bed. Great Byredo products too. Very clean as well. They gave us free water bottles since they don't have a minibar in the room (not sure if that's a temporary thing or a permanent thing). Bar served a mean dirty martini too.

    Our view from the 19th floor.

    I had a great weekend stay at this downtown San Francisco hotel. The front desk is friendly and constantly asking if you want bottled water. The bed was very comfortable with a nice fluffy comforter. The room was well designed with automatic shades. The view was beautiful in the day and at night. I enjoyed the two lane lap pool and hot tub. They stocked pool towels. Imagine that! Notes: There are not enough hooks in the bathroom to hang our towels. The location is near a homeless colony of sorts. Parking is $75/day. Other places are comparable, hence, this is SF. Next time, we will turn in our rental car and just do ride share and Muni Mobile passes!

    We really like InterContinental hotels, and were excited to try this location after staying at the Mark Hopkins on our last visit to SF. Our room was modern in design and had a lovely view. We opted for breakfast in the club lounge on the 6th floor where we received exceptional service and were impressed by a very lovely spread. Aside from a very aloof doorman who remained seated at his podium staring at his phone while we struggled with our bags through the heavy lobby doors and an odd amount of pushback from the front desk when we requested a late checkout which should not have been an issue given IGH Diamond Elite status, it was a pleasant stay. We're currently planning which InterContinental to visit next... this brand has the luxury X comfort crossover dialed in just right!

    The hotel is conveniently situated next to Yerba Buena center and close to Union Square and Chinatown (20 mins walk). To avoid the $74 charge for parking, we parked in a parking structure right next to the hotel (Mission and 5th) with $45ish for 24 hours. The Intercontinental lobby is nice and modern but the room itself is not super new or modern, but ours comes with a good view with a glimpse of the bay on the 30th floor. We also have the diamond elite status, so we get access to the Lounge on the 6th floor, or otherwise you pay $70 to get into. The lounge is nicely stocked with snacks, fruits, drinks and has a good breakfast selection in the morning. At night we got to taste some crème brûlée desserts and tiramisu which are really nice. Overall great hotel to stay at!

    Windows have some very festive icicles

    Intercontinental is one of the newer luxury hotels located in the heart of San Francisco but just a little outside the shopping district . Once inside, this hotel features some nice decor and during the holidays the hotel features some hot cocoa with marshmallows with Christmas movies playing on the big screen in the lobby . Rooms are quite spacious and beds are comfortable. Bathrooms have separate showers and tub. They have a nice warm indoor pool and decent fitness center. Only downside is the hotel only offers valet parking and is within striking distance of the panhandle area of the city.

    I do recall entering room # and last name as input fields to access Wifi. The other option was entering your IHG membership #.

    I think so but I've never seen any kids.

    Is it easy to get from the InterContinental Hotel (888 Howard St) to Fisherman's Wharf using public transportation?

    There is a cable car that departs a few blocks from this hotel (Powell & Market) that will take you there and is quite fun to ride. Watch out for long lines!

Arrived at 5:30 and was surprised when I saw a small but decent amount of folks here. When I approached the bar and got my first drink, I understood why folks were there so early....the drinks were a buck! Such a steal and great way to get folks in. The concept of battle of the decades is great too! Each hour is a different decade of music,starting with the 60's. I spent a few hours dancing from 60's-80's music until about 8pm (perfect for an old millennial like me) until the place filled up. Totally great night at Monroe.

Located on Broadway in North Beach, it's always high energy and popping, but I've never had any issues getting in. Also love that there's no cover charge for women, so I can just enjoy the night with my friends here without having to pay the equivalent price of a drink before I've even stepped inside. Even with the club frequently packed, especially the later in the night you go, I find the facilities pretty clean compared to many other similar lounges. It's also conveniently located near late night pizza and crêpe eateries that are still open after Monroe closes for the win, which makes it an all-around no brainer to choose going here versus other venues.

I never heard of this place until a fellow Yelper brought this up to me and I said SFBox?

The building was built in 1926 as a printing plant for the San Francisco Examiner. It is a nice mixed use building like a nice cozy maze to explore the nice layout and architecture of the old print shop. So upstairs about 2 floors and vendors are scattered so it's like a hunt for them, almost like a needle in haystack. Lol Well it's not that hard as you won't miss anyone. Too floor that where you will satisfy your sweet tooth . Yummy.
