Steal my pics, Iโll find you! ๐ซ๐ธ First Impressions Matter โค๏ธ๐ฅ A cityโs charm often starts at its hotel doors. ๐ชโจ For my SF debut, I chose The Westin St. Francisโoverlooking Union Squareโs glittering Christmas tree. ๐ฒ๐ What a blend of elegance and warmth! ๐ค Elegance? ๐๏ธ Dating back to 1904, the hotelโs European soul whispers through time. Warmth? ๐ฅ The front desk team spoiled my Platinum status with a suite upgrade AND a luxury brunch package. ๐ Two Wings, One Icon ๐๏ธ๐ Landmark Building: Historic grandeur + Union Square views. ๐ด๐ Tower Building: Modern chic + bay vistas. ๐๐ The lobbyโs a mini-museum! ๐๏ธ๐ผ๏ธ Vintage photos, porcelain sets, and menus from 1904โhistory comes alive. ๐๐ฐ๏ธ Parkview Suite Diaries ๐ณ๐๏ธ I booked the Parkview - One-Bedroom Larger Suite for those square views. ๐ฒ๐ช Thanks to the front desk angels, I scored: A bedroom + living room (with a foldable bed ๐๏ธ๐ถ) 2 bathrooms ๐ฝ๐ฟ (no fighting over sink time!) Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the square. ๐ผ๏ธโจ Renovated touches kept it fresh, yet the vibe stayed timeless. ๐ฐ๏ธ๐ซ Christmas Brunch Bonanza ๐ด๐Score! A holiday brunch package for ~$30-40/person. ๐ธ๐ฅ Steak ๐ฅฉ, continental fare ๐ฅ, and SF specialties: seafood ๐ฆ + spring rolls! ๐ฏ Alcoholโs extra, but the free sparkling water hit different. ๐ฆ๐ฅ Quality food, stellar serviceโworth every penny. ๐ฏ๐ธ Pro tip: Packages change often. Follow their deals! ๐ฒ๐ธ Location, Location, Location ๐๐ Union Square hub: Steps to Fishermanโs Wharf ๐ฃ, Chinatown ๐ฎ, and cable cars! ๐ Cable Car outside: Ride like a local! ๐๐จ But heads-up: Lower elevations = more homeless camps. Stay sharp. ๐จ๐ Final Thoughts ๐๐ญ This hotelโs a blend of old-world grace and modern comfort. ๐ค๐๏ธ Whether youโre here for history, holidays, or just vibes, The Westin St. Francis delivers. ๐๐จ ๐ท๏ธ #SanFrancisco #HiddenGemHotel #TravelPhotography ๐๐ธ
