Ford and I met up in San Francisco before our flight to Italy. Ford was coming in from Los Angeles, and I was coming in from New York on JetBlue. Yes, I realize that's quite a bit of backtracking, but we had booked the tickets to Italy before I realized I needed to be in…

Absolutely TERRIFIC review!
Except for the Larry David part, don't need him in there.
I love the St. Regis brand in general. Love how they continue to have proper desks and proper, enclosed bathrooms, unlike some other chains that sometimes aim for the high end market. It isn't cheap, but I've never had an experience that wasn't worth it. Good to see that the SF location is excellent.
I don't mean to be negative for the sake of it but this looks like a very very dull hotel. Bland. You might be anywhere -and pay a good deal less for it.
Great review as always.
I am curious with other Starwood members if they receive the same beautiful flowers in the room for being a loyal guest? You deserve the extra attention as you are a great blogger but knowing if this is a blogger amenity or Platinum amenity would be interesting.
Either way, looks beautiful.
@evan--I'm not sure where you stay that looks more exciting, but calling the StR bland is just laughable. It's a beautifully modern hotel.
@Lucky--I couldn't agree with you more. This StR San Francisco is my favorite city hotel in the entire USA. I love it. I'll be there 3 times on paid stays in the coming 3 months...and a 4th time for a comp'd stay in December. Everyone at the hotel is incomparably gracious, friendly, and warm and goes out of their way to help.
@Lucky is the hotel's breakfast only a la cartè or is there a (cold) buffet set up extra?
Thanks for the review!
Looking at this trip schedule, I am slightly blown away that you will feature dining reviews of hotel restaurants in Rome of all places.
At the St Regis SF right now and you need to mention how worn a lot of the furniture is. The pillow and bed skirts were in tatters in my room. The chaise lounge had a few stains on it too. I spoke to the front desk and they acknowledged that things haven't been replaced in 10 years and they're waiting for corporate to approve the changes. Sigh.
Third and Mission is so ghetto...how many homeless psychos did you have to fend off outside the hotel doors to go anywhere? And what's so spectacular about the lobby...it look like a Howard Johnsons to me.
@ Philip: That's ridiculous that "things haven't been changed in 10 years" and even more preposterous that someone working there would tell you that. It sounds like you are a troll trying to create negativity where none exists. Of course, let's forbid there be any stains on a chaise! Of course, your pillow and bed skirt tatters sounds far fetched since I've stayed in the hotel many times (including 2x already this past year with 2 more coming up in the next few weeks) and never seen anything remotely like you pretend to be true. Please go bother other idiots like you where they can't so obviously spot your duplicity and utter nonsense.
So I’ve stayed here for 8 nights in May 2018 and then about ~20 nights at the Ritz, Palace, Grand Hyatt, Westin and 4Seasons. I have to say the St. Regis is really nothing special…. it does have the most comfortable bed and a pool! But the location, extremely crappy gym really can’t compare with some of the other hotels. My favorite so far has the 4Seasons, followed by Westin. The Ritz is nice but too difficult to get to LOL.
