W San Francisco
Design-forward urban hotel. SoMa energy — art, tech, nightlife — baked into the bones. Colorful accent lighting, hand-curated playlists, and a lobby that works as a co-working spot during the day and a scene at night.
Bonvoy Platinum and above regularly get upgraded to high-floor corner studio suites with wraparound city views — always worth asking at check-in.
Why It Matters
The first purpose-built W hotel in the world. Also notable for a rooftop beehive colony running since 2011 — the honey shows up in cocktails. First existing building in North America to earn LEED-EB Platinum certification.
The W San Francisco holds a genuine piece of hotel history: it was the first W property purpose-built from the ground up rather than converted, and that extra intention still shows. Sitting directly next to SFMOMA in SoMa, the 31-story tower delivers the full W playbook — moody lobby, DJ-fueled bar, rooms with downtown skyline views — with a sustainability backbone that earned it LEED-EB Platinum certification, the first existing building in North America to get there. Rooms were last overhauled in 2019 with a gold-rush design theme; wear is starting to show in carpets and sofas, but the bones are solid and the service is genuinely good.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Cool Corner Studio Suite
High-floor corner suite that wraps around with sweeping city views on two sides. Includes a separate seating area with a corner sofa. The go-to upgrade for Bonvoy Platinum and above members. Feels dramatically larger than a standard room thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows on two walls.
KingKing Superior Guest Room
Entry-level king room with the signature W Hotels pillowtop mattress, ergonomic workspace, Wi-Fi, bedside tech hookups, and a creatively stocked W Mix Bar. Gold Rush-inspired design with gold triangle motifs and linear veins on tiles and carpets. Davines bath amenities and plush robes in the bathroom.
KingKing Supreme Suite
Upscale suite with a separate bathroom area and elevated finishes. The Supreme Suite bathroom is notably larger than standard rooms with a dual-head shower setup.
