Beautiful lobby, warm and inviting. The room was a bit small, no where to put clothing other than wardrobe - needed drawers. Loud outside - could have used a noise machine.

Ever since I found the Emblem I always stay there and will keep staying here in the future. The staff is great, to coffee shop as well, the rooms are conformable and quiet, the hotel is funky, and the area is perfectly located. Far enough from the zombie apocalypse of Union Square, and close enough to walk to the financial district or embarcadero.

I love boutique hotels offering something beyond a cookie-cutter, comfortable experience. We were mainly looking for a hotel that could provide both a coffee shop and a bar/lounge on property, and Hotel Emblem delivered perfectly on these along with a fantastic, quirky vibe. We loved the music in the lounge, the kind and helpful staff offering Sangria on check-in, and the delightful signature scent in the public areas. We also loved the extensive list of unusual amenities available even if we didn’t take advantage of most. Our very minor criticisms are that we would have appreciated better lighting in the room near the full-length mirror and also that the bathroom door closed on its own and couldn’t be held open to let steam out. However, these issues were very nominal and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
