Taj Campton Place

Taj Campton Place is an intimate luxury hotel at 340 Stockton Street, immediately next to Union Square in San Francisco, California. Operated by the Taj brand of Indian luxury hotels, it is a small property by downtown standards, and its scale is part of the appeal: the atmosphere is closer to a private residence than to a large convention hotel. The location is exceptionally central. Union Square, the flagship department stores and boutiques, the Powell Street cable cars and the Powell Street BART and Muni station are all within a few minutes on foot, while Chinatown's Dragon Gate lies just to the northeast, and the Financial District and Nob Hill are both a short walk away. Accommodation consists of Deluxe King rooms and suites, which are generally spacious relative to the size of the building and furnished in a refined, contemporary style with attention to materials and service detail. Amenities listed include a restaurant, a bar, a concierge and free Wi-Fi. Dining is a focus of the property. The hotel's restaurant, Campton Place, has been one of the better-known fine-dining rooms in the city and is a draw in its own right for visitors interested in contemporary Californian cooking with international influences; breakfast is also served to guests. No spa or pool is listed, although the fitness and wellness needs of guests are typically met through nearby facilities. The service character is attentive and personalised, with a concierge able to arrange theater tickets, restaurant reservations, transport and local excursions. The hotel suits couples, business travellers and visitors celebrating special occasions who want a quiet, high-end address within walking distance of the city's main shopping and sightseeing. Nightly rates typically run from about $300 to $700 depending on season and room category, with the highest prices around major conferences, holidays and the autumn peak. Because the hotel has relatively few rooms, advance booking is advisable, especially for suites.
