Hotel Emblem San Francisco

Hotel Emblem San Francisco is a boutique hotel at 562 Sutter Street, at the corner of Sutter and Mason Streets in San Francisco, California, roughly one block from Union Square. The position puts the Powell Street cable car line, the Powell Street BART and Muni station and the main Union Square shopping streets within a few minutes' walk, while Nob Hill rises directly to the north and Chinatown lies a short stroll to the east. Visitors arriving from the airport by BART can reach the hotel on foot from Powell Street, which suits travellers who prefer to avoid taxis. The building is a compact, urban boutique property rather than a large resort, and its character comes from a central address and a more personal scale than the tower hotels nearby. Rooms are offered in Queen, King and Suite categories, typically small to mid-sized as is common in downtown San Francisco, and the hotel is pet-friendly, a convenience for travellers bringing dogs. Amenities include a bar, a fitness centre and free Wi-Fi. The hotel does not advertise a signature restaurant, but the surrounding blocks contain a wide range of cafes, bakeries and dinner restaurants within a short walk, including options along Sutter Street, in Union Square and on the edge of Chinatown. Service is in the relaxed boutique style, suited to leisure visitors, couples and business travellers who want a central location without paying luxury-hotel prices. Nightly rates usually fall between about $180 and $380, depending on season and local events, and the property has a rating of around 4.1. As with most Union Square hotels, the streets can be noisy and busy into the evening, so guests who value quiet may prefer a higher floor or a room facing away from the main road.
