Golden Gate Hotel - A historic 1913 Edwardian haven near Union Square with vintage birdcage elevator and daily continental breakfast

Located steps from the Powell/Mason and Powell/Hyde cable-car stops, this three-star San Francisco hotel occupies a Contributing Building in the Lower Nob Hill Apartment Hotel District. The Golden Gate Hotel, built in 1913 and listed in the National Register of Historic Places, features a distinctive iron-grilled birdcage elevator connecting its four floors. Guest rooms come in three categories: Premium Classic with queen beds and en-suite bathrooms featuring clawfoot tubs, European Style with full beds and private showers, and Basic rooms with full or twin beds and shared bathrooms. Historical photographs line the hallways, while rooms showcase antique furnishings, decorative artwork, and original architectural details. The property serves complimentary breakfast from 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM at its sister property one minute away, plus afternoon tea and cookies in the parlor. Golden Gate sits two blocks west of Chinatown's South Gate and a five-minute walk from Union Square, with Moscone Convention Center within walking distance.

Pros

Daily complimentary breakfast includes warm croissants from Bakers of Paris bakery

Pet-friendly accommodations welcome up to two dogs (maximum 40 lbs total)

Front desk concierge service available from 7 AM to 11 PM

Walking distance to multiple dining options including Lori's Diner, Morton's Steakhouse, and Top of the Mark

Cons

No elevator alternative for wheelchair access due to historic building constraints

Shared bathrooms required for Basic room category guests

“This hotel offers a charmingly vintage European feel right in the heart of the city, and the birdcage elevator alone makes it memorable. The location, just steps from the cable car and Chinatown, is ideal for exploring. I think the cozy, pet-friendly atmosphere and complimentary touches like breakfast and tea create real value.”
