Great location and great service in an architectural masterpiece
I'm an architecture buff, so I have wanted to stay in the Hyatt Regency in Embarcadero Center for over thirty years. I have stayed in several other hotels that were also designed by John Portman and have found em beautiful but sometimes terribly impractical. This is an exception, as the hotel's design "works" while still being (literally) breathtaking. The room was both spacious and comfortable, the view was a living postcard, and best of all the staff was phenomenal. Spend the extra money for a bay-view with a balcony, it is worth it. Save money on a car rental and parking by taking BART from either the Oakland or San Francisco airports, as the Hyatt is no more than 100 feet from the Embarcadero BART station. Fisherman's Wharf is acessible via the vintage streetcars that board across the street from the hotel and the California Street Cable Car line terminates at the hotel's front door. Excellent location, excellent service, excellent value, and excellent hotel!
