We got a great deal via Expedia and had a suite up on the 9th floor. The rooms were lovely and spacious and the bathroom (especially the bath/tub) was really nice. Minutes away from all the shopping and central sites we will definitely stay here again if we find ourselves in San Fran. The staff at the desk were always... more

My partner and I stayed at the Palomar over a long weekend while visiting friends in SF. I had never stayed there before, but knew of the hotel from previously living in SF. I received a great package deal price that included parking. (Booked through Kimpton's website directly.) For the level of hotel, it was the least expensive parking package... more

I booked 3 rooms for our party of five adults, and we checked-in on July 26. My partner and I had already been staying here 2 years ago, and had been monitoring the website for some packages, which eventually showed, with more realistic value than the rack rates. Check-in was smooth, for all of us. Rooms : we felt that... more

I enjoyed staying at the Hotel Palomar, and thought the location was great for the touristy part of SF. Half a block to the BART and Muni, which made travel to other neighborhoods and the airport easy, and short walk to Union Sqaure, Yerba Buena gardens, lots of shopping, etc. Staff at check-in were helpful, and the room was nicely... more

We stayed here for a short weekend trip, and would definately stay here again for a longer trip next time. It was our first time staying at the Hotel Palomar or at any Kimpton Hotel. We decided on this hotel because it was pet friendly and we had our two dogs with us for the weekend. We booked our room... more

I love Kimpton properties in general - Stayed here for business. Walking distance to the convention center. Nice updated rooms... flat screen tv. Great service - from the bellmen to the front desk. Had some slow service for breakfast but the waitress was very nice about it.. I actuall fell in the middle of the restaurant and no one came... more

This hotel is in a great location but as several reviewers have stated the rooms are very small. The big problem we had here was the michelin star restaurant, located on the 5th floor. The food was lovely but our table was situated near the air conditioning vent and it was absolutely freezing. Three times we asked for the air... more

Great rate on Travelzoo.com - $139.00 for two doubles. Nick-Dal thought room was small, but perhaps has never stayed in a NYC 85 sf shoebox "boutique" hotel for $350 ... our Palomar room was HUGE! Well appointed, comfortable (except for the pillows; I dislike down, and the foam pillows that were brought up were hard as rocks). Staff was very... more

On busy Market Street, the hotel sits above an Old Navy retail store. The layout is a little odd with the main hotel starting on the 5th floor. The restaurant and bar offer very limited hours, and otherwise are dead space off the elevator. The room was on the small side as expected in San Francisco. But for the price... more

This Hotel is situated at the perfect location right in the heart of downtown San Francisco. You are 2 blocks to Union Square, 1/2 a block to BART, 6 blocks to China Town, 2 blocks to the famous Cable Cars. The hotel is decorated nicely, very clean and the service is quick and efficient. Our check in took about 2... more
