sanfrancisco_hotelSan Francisco’s Union Street is known as the commercial heart of the city. It presents an overwhelming array of retail shops, sightseeing options and the best of global cuisines. It is located near the Golden Gate and downtown area of San Francisco, making it one of the most valued neighborhoods in San Francisco.

However, finding an appropriate accomodation in Unions Street could prove to be a tedious task for visitors. There are so many options available and this is matched by a never-ending demand from tourists and business travelers. Therefore, it makes sense to know about accomodation options at both ends of the bargain game when searching for a hotel in Union Street, San Francisco — both the budgeted and the luxury option.

San Francisco’s Best Luxury/Boutique Hotel:

Galleria Park Hotel
(Part of the Joie De Vivre Boutique Hotel)
191 Sutter Street, San Francisco

Though the Galleria is among the most sought-after hotels in San Francisco, it is precariously located in the busiest hubs of San Francisco, i.e. the Union Street’s bustling downtown area. However, you would have to get over the traffic and the snarling to appreciate the fact that it is just a few steps away from shopping havens like the Crocker Galleria, east block of Union Square and Chinatown. Even the Moscone Convention Center is just about four blocks away. This makes the Galleria, the most exclusive of San Francisco’s boutique hotels in terms of its central location.

You can literally grab a sandwich and walk down to the Museum of Modern Art or get any of the numerous Cable Cars running on California Street. Come inwards and the décor will dazzle you with its Art Nouveau presentation in the background of crystal skylights and the polished marble stairways. Speaking of luxury, consider this — every evening the lobby hosts a complimentary wine reception for its residents! Featuring in the list of San Francisco’s topmost luxury establishments, each room is equipped with CD players, MP3 stations and consoles for video games and the bathrooms have silken, fabricated robes.

San Francisco Budget Hotel at its best:

The Super 8 at Union Square
415 O Farrell Street, San Francisco
Location pointer: it is about three blocks from the Theater District

This is your typical San Francisco budgeted alternative that has all the basic facilities like complimentary breakfasts and business services provided on request. Each of the rooms has a coffeemaker and you can have a refrigerator for a token fee. It is comfortably located near the main shopping malls of Union Square but is a bit distanced from the eateries of Chinatown.
