About Four Seasons

Situated on Market Street*, Four Seasons SF is a 5-star luxury hotel that is in the center of all the action. From popular tourist attraction sights like Union Square and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to diverse culinary scene and vibrant nightlife, it is notably the best luxury hotel in San Francisco.

This modern oasis houses 17 different styles of rooms and suites ranging from couples rooms to family suites, as well as accessible rooms. Whether you are in town for business, celebrating a milestone event with babe, or spending quality time with family, Four Seasons San Francisco, CA is is the perfect home-away-from-home for all travellers alike.

*There are two Four Seasons properties in the Bay Area. The one I am reviewing today is Four Seasons Market Street; not to be confused with Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco at Embarcadero.

Getting Here

From San Francisco International Airport, Four Seasons is located 20 to 30 minutes away by car.

Both Uber and Lyft are readily available in the Bay Area. Alternatively, you can also take the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit District), which is one line without transfers.

Check-In

As mentioned above, check-in begins at 3:00PM.

I’d arrived a little earlier, but was able to check into my room regardless. As with any hotel, early check-in is never guaranteed and depends on the availability of your room.

Superior Room

My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of spending two nights in the gorgeous Superior Room.

It features a king-size bed, a full marble bathroom, and a beautiful seating area with partial views of Market Street and the Yerba Buena Gardens.

You can add an additional rollaway bed to accommodate a third guest. However, I recommend Four Seasons as a couples getaway destination.

This is quite frankly the first time I’ve ever award five stars to all categories.

While it’s true that I was here on a media stay, both my boyfriend and I genuinely had a phenomenal time. In fact, this might just be one of my new favorite five star hotels in San Francisco!
