Wifi is free and works. The fitness center is small but has what you need—no excuses. Parking is available, but brace your wallet; it’s San Francisco, after all. The hotel is also pet-friendly, so you can bring your fluffy traveling companion. (Though they might judge you for ordering room service without sharing.)
Review of Handlery Union Square Hotel in San Francisco! - Food Family
One tip: book a room on a higher floor for less street noise. And if you’re a light sleeper, ask for a room facing the courtyard. The city hums, but the courtyard is like a velvet blanket of quiet.
A Little History (Stay With Me)
The Handlery has been family-owned since 1907. That’s right—it survived the 1906 earthquake (just barely) and has been hosting travelers for over a century. It’s been updated, of course, but it still has soul. You can feel the stories in the walls, and that is rare in today’s world of cookie-cutter hotels.
It’s not a "luxury" hotel in the sense of having a private butler who folds your napkin into a swan. It’s a luxury of character. It’s the sound of the ice machine down the hall, the friendly nod from the bellhop, the way the morning light hits the bay window.
