Detailed Review
Campton Place Hotel, one of the most elegant and charming luxury hotels in San Francisco, recently completed a renovation to make guests feel as comfortable in the hotel as they are at home. Set in the heart of Union Square, this elegant, European-style hotel is minutes from all that is quintessential about San Francisco-Chinatown, the Financial District, world-famous theaters, entertainment and shopping. Conveniently located just off Union Square, within walking distance from one of the country’s prime retail areas. San Francisco’s financial district, art galleries, designer boutiques, department stores, theatre and cable cars are minutes from our hotel.
A historic site, the hotel marries two early twentieth century buildings and has a classical European charm. With an ambience that exudes privacy, warmth and luxury. Located along Stockton Street, on the prestigious Union Square, this serene retreat is a short distance from the financial district, premier art galleries, renowned museums and the city’s best known stores and restaurants.
With 110 rooms, the hotel has a distinctive boutique ambience. A private world, reminiscent of an impeccably designed residence.
The award-winning Campton Place Restaurant, one of San Francisco’s finest, is known for its delightful contemporary French cuisine. Well suited for small business conferences, it’s an ideal meeting place in the San Francisco Bay Area. Expertly trained staff anticipate every need, be it an executive event or an elite gathering.

Campton Place
By Gregory McNamee
Someone within the Campton Place organization, it seems, understands that attention to detail is the sine qua non of a successful hotel - though far too many San Francisco venues, sure of trade in a city that’s always full, forget the lesson. As one approaches and enters the building, Jeeves-like doormen and concierges appear; the desk staff is a marvel of efficiency and quick check-in, and pleasant besides. The overall feel is one of warmth and welcome, and a drink at the exquisitely retro bar does nothing but enhance the mood.
The rooms
Sure, the price is usually more than $300 a night, but you’d pay that much for a broom closet in Venice. The Campton Place wouldn’t feel at all out of place in the Veneto, with its Italianate decorative themes, richly polished wooden furniture, and double-glass windows that confine the roar of bustling Union Square to mere white noise. Renovated by famed local designer Sylvia Chang, the rooms range from doubles to floor-sized suites, but all share the same fine-details, nothing-missing elegance.
