When you live in a tourist destination, it is often your duty whether you like it or not, to make suggestions for what to see or eat, and, perhaps most importantly, where to stay.
I've lived in San Francisco all my life, and am most often asked for hotel recommendations from family, friends, and friends of friends.
While many name brand and luxury hotels are found downtown, there's an eclectic mix of offerings in other parts of the city too, to meet a wide range of needs and interests. You can stay in an old school landmark atop a San Francisco hill, or a boutique inn nestled near the water in the historic Presidio. Expect to pay around $200 per night for a well-reviewed hotel, depending on when you visit, and the class of hotel.
To help plan a San Francisco visit, I've compiled some of the city's favorite hotels, based on my own experiences and reviews from my Insider Picks colleagues, as well as research and top user reviews and ratings from Trip Advisor and Booking.com, with starting prices between $149 and $377 per night (based on time of publishing) to fit every budget.
