From their sumptuous lodgings, guests can gaze upon the water or the serene English gardens that grace the grounds. The Sherman House also runs a tiny but top-notch restaurant for guests only. The St. Francis exudes Old World elegance and intimacy surprisingly well for such a large hotel. Even the wood-paneled elevators are beautiful here. A contemporary tower addition stretching from the 18th to the 31st floors was built in 1972.
Rooms here offer striking city and water views.
Even if you're not staying at the St. Francis, the lavish lobby is worth ducking into for a quick look. Ornate public sitting rooms on the main floor lend a sense of spacious elegance. Wake up in France, then go have breakfast in Italy. Our most budget-oriented selection still has class and character, as well as a central location near Union Square. A bonus is the Titanic Cafe next door, which is operated by the hotel and serves breakfast and lunch.
