Hotel Details

Location

In the heart of Union Square, the hotel is a 5-minute walk from shopping, dining, and major attractions, with BART and cable cars a block away.
The hotel sits in the vibrant Union Square district, 600 metres from the square itself and 2 km from Moscone Center. Public transport is excellent: Powell Street BART station is one block away, and cable cars stop right outside, providing easy access to Fisherman's Wharf and other landmarks. Nearby attractions include San Francisco City Hall (3 km), Coit Tower (3 km), and Oracle Park (3 km). San Francisco International Airport is 23 km away, reachable via BART in about 30 minutes. The neighbourhood is lively with many restaurants, cafes, and a Trader Joe's grocery store within a few minutes' walk. Some streets nearby have a noticeable homeless presence, but the hotel itself is secure with key card entry. The central location makes it ideal for sightseeing on foot or using public transit.

Dining

The on-site Bartlett Hall serves American dinners Tuesday-Saturday, and the bar offers a free drink for guests.
Bartlett Hall, the hotel's attached restaurant, is open Tuesday through Saturday from 16:00 to 23:00, offering American cuisine for dinner only. Guests receive a coupon for a free drink at the bar, which also features a fireplace and a welcoming atmosphere. Breakfast is not served at the hotel, but the surrounding area has numerous coffee shops and diners within a short walk, such as Cafe Bellini, Lori's Diner, and Sears Fine Food. The bar and lounge area on the ground floor provides a convenient spot for an evening meal or drink without leaving the building.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Check in at the Stratford Hotel on Powell Street, 2 minutes' walk away, as the Bartlett front desk is often unattended.

  • 02

    Request a room away from the street and the internal courtyard to reduce noise; rooms facing the back are generally quieter.

  • 03

    Plan for no daily housekeeping; fresh towels and linens can be requested at the Stratford reception.

  • 04

    Use the BART station and cable cars just outside for easy city access, and budget $35-$40 for nearby off-site parking.
