Every now and then a upscale property earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, Hotel Emblem San Francisco, in Downtown San Francisco, is one of those. Geographically speaking it's barely a stroll from the centre of San Francisco, and the strong location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Rooms feel polished; the touches travellers mention most are reliable wi-fi, and the comfort feedback has been consistently flattering. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, around 880 reviews, scoring strong on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €193 a night, a premium entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. It's the kind of San Francisco property that rewards a careful comparison, the spec sheet doesn't quite capture what makes it tick.
