Hotel Majestic

Hotel Majestic is an Edwardian mansion-turned-hotel dating from 1902, standing at 1500 Sutter Street at Gough Street in San Francisco, California, on the boundary between Pacific Heights and Japantown. The building is among the older surviving hotels in the city and carries its history in its period details and elegant, traditional character. Japantown's Japan Center, ramen shops and bakeries are a short walk to the west, Fillmore Street's cafes and boutiques lie to the north-west, and Civic Center, with City Hall, the opera house and the symphony, is reached on foot or by a short bus ride. Union Square and the Financial District are accessible by bus along Geary or Van Ness, and the cable cars on California Street climb toward Nob Hill nearby. BART does not serve the immediate area. Rooms are offered as Queen, King and Suite categories, with period-style furnishings rather than a contemporary look, and free Wi-Fi is included. A restaurant and a bar on the property serve breakfast and evening drinks, and the surrounding neighbourhoods offer many additional options. Service is boutique in scale, with a traditional style that appeals to couples, history-minded visitors and those who prefer a historic building over a modern tower. Nightly rates generally fall between about $180 and $380 depending on season, and the hotel is rated around 4.2. Older buildings can have uneven room sizes and some sound travel between floors, so guests with specific needs may wish to discuss room selection with the hotel in advance. The streets near the hotel are quieter at night than Union Square, though visitors still take normal city precautions after dark.
