Dining
On-site restaurants
The Garden Court Restaurant
Consistently ranked as one of the world's most beautiful dining rooms, The Garden Court is the hotel’s crown jewel. Guests dine beneath a 110-year-old stained-glass dome supported by Italian marble pillars and Austrian crystal chandeliers. The menu focuses on elevated California cuisine, featuring seasonal ingredients and local delicacies like Dungeness crab, and hosts the hotel's legendary Sunday City Brunch and Saturday Signature Tea service.
Pied Piper
Named after the original Maxfield Parrish mural that has graced its walls for over a century, Pied Piper is a San Francisco institution. This warm, mahogany-clad lounge offers a classic club atmosphere specializing in signature martinis and high-end pub fare. It is a premier destination for both locals and travelers seeking a sophisticated evening of craft cocktails and intimate conversation.
Garden Court Lounge
Located steps away from the main restaurant within the palatial atrium, the GC Lounge offers a more casual but equally lavish environment. It serves as a gathering spot for curated light bites, rich desserts, and a vast selection of premium wines. The lounge provides a sun-drenched setting for mid-afternoon refreshments or a tranquil evening nightcap under the chandeliers.
GC2GO
For guests on the move, GC2GO provides a high-quality takeaway option located on the lobby level. The menu features artisan coffee, freshly baked pastries, and a selection of healthy salads and sandwiches, allowing travelers to experience the hotel's culinary standards with the convenience required for a busy day exploring the city.
Honest review
What could be better
- —Management should address intrusive mechanical noises in the plumbing and upgrade window insulation to mitigate significant overnight street noise from Market Street that disrupts guest sleep.
- —The hotel needs to repair out-of-service elevators to reduce long wait times and improve staffing reliability for the valet and front desk to ensure that guaranteed benefits, such as early check-in, are consistently honored.
- —Improvements are needed to maintain consistent food temperatures at the breakfast buffet and regulate the indoor pool temperature to ensure it is actually heated, as advertised.
