I have stayed at the Ritz-Carlton, on Stockton, which is very nice, but lacks views. My concern is how scruffy the downtown and Chinatown areas have become.
Perhaps, some place on Nob Hill might work. Thank you.
Like the Palace but make sure you get a decent size room … some are a bit claustrophobic.
I’ve stayed a lot at the Grand Hyatt on Embarcadero - annual conference there etc - and it is very business conference style but the rooms with balconies overlooking the water are pretty nice and it’s fun to be able to run to the Ferry Building for a snack or drink. Would not be my first choice but not a bad option.
