Great place to stay!
Awesome hotel in the heart of San Francisco. Super friendly people, easy check in (although they do charge for early check in), great bar at night. Rooms are updated for an old building. Everything was clean and the hotel has a fun, quirky vibe. Will definitely stay again.

Cozy, clean, and books
I was looking for a boutique style hotel for a weekend getaway in Union Square and came across Hotel Emblem. It did not disappoint. The unique literary theme and coziness was amazing. I loved the quotes on the carpet in front of each of the rooms as well as the books left on the desk. We actually took one home. The ambient noise machine was a odd to begin, but after awhile we were able to tune it out completely. I will have to create another opportunity to stay there again.

Our stay at Hotel Emblem in San Francisco exceeded all expectations. The staff's warmth and accommodation made us feel truly welcomed. The creative "Beat" atmosphere, inspiring generations of writers, artists, and poets, infused a unique charm into our experience. The hotel's commitment to fostering creativity is evident in every detail. My wife and I were thoroughly impressed, and without a doubt, we'll be back to indulge in the captivating ambiance. The addition of fortune cookies added a delightful and fun touch, making our stay at Hotel Emblem truly memorable.

Our go-to SF hotel
We absolutely loved every detail and extra amenitie that our reservation came with. Having one of my favorite cafes located next to your lobby and being able to enjoy it by the "fireplace" was a highlight. We especially felt taken care of during our check-in and check-out process by the woman who was working at the front desk.
