Old world charm at it's best
On this trip I decided to stay at the westin St Francis and I was not disappointed. Old world charm from yesteryear. Great view of the city from the 11th floor in a mini suite. 
The room, the hallways and the bathroom was quite spacious in the oirignal part of the hotel. A reminder of a days gone by! The charm of this hotel was wonderful right down to the old mail chute that according to staff still works, even though letters may get stuck and still has the postman collecting mail at the bottom. 
It is very central to everything especially places to eat, shopping and the cable car to take you to other parts of the city. The staff were very helpful and I cannot say enough nice things about this hotel. There is even a documentary on one of the channels in the room that gives you the history of the hotel.
My only negative and given that the hotel was very crowded due to a food conference in town was the internet service. Very slow at times does make it hard to get work down quickly
