Boutique hotel in a 1913 building at Fourth and Market Streets, at the edge of Union Square and SoMa.
Hotel Zelos San Francisco is a boutique hotel at 12 4th Street, in a 1913 building at the corner of Fourth and Market Streets in San Francisco, California. The address sits at the edge of Union Square and the SoMa district, so guests are within walking distance of the Powell Street BART and Muni station, the Westfield San Francisco Centre area, Yerba Buena Gardens, the Museum of Modern Art and the Moscone Center convention complex. The Powell Street cable car turnaround and Union Square are a few blocks away.
The building dates from the early twentieth century and retains the solid, historic character typical of downtown San Francisco's pre-war architecture, with a contemporary boutique interior layered on top. The hotel appeals to visitors who want a design-conscious stay without the scale of the large convention hotels nearby.
Room types include King rooms, Double Queen rooms and suites, with rates generally between about $180 and $420 per night. Free Wi-Fi is part of the listed amenities. The Double Queen rooms suit small groups and families, while the suites offer more space for longer stays or business travellers who need room to work.
On-site facilities include a restaurant, a bar and a fitness centre. Having a restaurant and bar in the building is convenient for breakfast before meetings at the Moscone Center or a drink after a day of sightseeing, and the surrounding SoMa and Union Square areas add a wide choice of dining. The hotel does not advertise a pool or full spa, so guests seeking those facilities may prefer one of the larger luxury properties.
Service is geared toward both leisure and business travellers. The location near Moscone Center events makes the hotel popular during conferences, when rooms fill quickly and rates rise. With a user rating of about 4.2, it is well regarded for its location and character. Fourth and Market is a busy intersection with transit and traffic noise, so guests who prefer quiet may wish to ask for a room on a higher floor or facing away from Market Street.
