Property Highlights

Built in 1875, the Palace Hotel is the most luxurious property in San Francisco. A major restoration of all guest rooms, public areas, restaurants and meeting spaces was completed in 1991 which continues to be honored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Located in the heart of San Francisco, the Palace Hotel is within walking distance of the trendy Post Street Shops, Chinatown, North Beach, SFMoma, Yerba Buena Gardens, Union Square, San Francisco Center, etc.

As a hotel in the Luxury Collection brand of Sheraton Hotels and Resorts, Worldwide, Inc., our Hotel strives to exceed all of our guests' expectations in service and style.

Calm and austere, Ten ("Paradise"), located in the Palace's mezzanine, is considered by many to be the best Japanese restaurant and sushi bar in San Francisco, its reputation built on the talents and personality of master sushi chef Fujibayashi Goemon. The sushi here has been uniformly excellent---immaculately fresh and meticulously prepared with the kind of grace and showmanship few other sushi chefs can match. This is why Ten has won the "Best of San Francisco"award four years in a row! Reservations have to be made weeks in advance for a table, and MONTHS in advance for one of the private rooms at this, San Francisco's premier eatery!

Become a part of San Francisco history....come for a stay at the Palace Hotel!
