Hotel Zelos San Francisco
Fashion-forward urban boutique. Computer-generated imagery artwork throughout, crisp white and warm grey rooms, provocative gallery-style lobby. Think tech-meets-design with a dark, moody bar on the roof.
The mandatory $35/night amenity fee includes a $10 Dirty Habit credit — use it at breakfast to offset the cost
Why It Matters
Voted #3 Top Hotel in San Francisco by Condé Nast Readers' Choice Awards (2025). One of the most central downtown addresses in the city, in a historic 1907 building, with one of SF's top whiskey bars on-site. Among the largest standard room sizes in downtown SF.
Hotel Zelos sits at the corner of 4th and Market in a 1907 building — one of the most central addresses in San Francisco, equidistant from Union Square, SoMa, and the Financial District. Formerly the Hotel Palomar, it got a full rebrand and renovation in 2019, emerging as a fashion-forward, art-heavy boutique with 202 rooms that run larger than average for the city. The real draw beyond the location is Dirty Habit, a fifth-floor bar with over 640 whiskeys, a heated outdoor patio, and fire pits — a rare outdoor perch in downtown SF. No spa, no pool, but who needs either when you're this close to everything?
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
1-Bedroom King Suite
The top room category at 625 sq ft with a separate living area and dedicated workspace. Walk-in spa shower. Views of either 4th Street or a courtyard. Feels genuinely residential — closest thing to a proper apartment in the building.
1 King BedCorner City View Junior King Suite
Corner position gives you city views from two angles. Roughly 400 sq ft with a king bed, in-room safe, desk, and blackout drapes. A good value suite-level room if you want the corner position without full suite pricing.
1 King BedDeluxe Double Room
Entry-level rooms with two double beds — good option for families or those wanting extra sleeping space. Modern decor in crisp whites and warm greys, blackout curtains, and more floor space than most downtown SF hotels at this price point.
2 Double BedsDeluxe King Room
At 400 sq ft, one of the larger standard rooms in the building. Features a plush king bed, large curved windows with Market Street views, and comfortable seating. The streetcar views from these rooms are a genuine highlight.
1 King BedExecutive King Room
350 sq ft with a plush king bed and Market Street views. Luxury bath products and bathrobes included. A solid step-up room for solo travelers or couples who want a bit more comfort.
1 King BedJunior Suite
377 sq ft of proper suite space with a king bed and city views. More room to spread out than standard categories without jumping all the way to the 1-bedroom.
1 King BedLuxury King Room
Same footprint as the Executive King but with a standout bathroom upgrade: a Fuji deep soaking tub plus a separate walk-in shower. Worth it if you want a spa-like bathroom without paying suite prices.
