Hotel Monaco San Francisco, a Union Square Hotel

Hotel Monaco San Francisco is a boutique luxury hotel near Moscone Center, just an easy ten-minute walk away. Located by Union Square, just two blocks from the square itself, our flagship Kimpton Hotel is truly in the heart of San Francisco.

Bustling with activity, Union Square is a historical gathering place and San Francisco focal point. The neighborhood is one of the world's premier shopping districts, where high-end art galleries and upscale boutiques stand shoulder-to-shoulder with famous department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.

The central plaza features public concerts, events, art shows and the annual Macy's Union Square Tree Lighting Ceremony. It's also a great place to rest your feet or meet up with friends. Just off the square is Maiden Lane, a lovely pedestrian-only street flanked by stores like Chanel and Britex Fabrics, San Francisco's oldest fabric store. A few blocks over is the renowned Moscone Convention Center, which draws countless visitors to the area.

Ride San Francisco's iconic cable cars - both the Powell-Mason and Powell-Hyde lines pass by Union Square. Shop to your heart's delight. Stroll the streets and take in the panorama of people from around the world. Enjoy pre-theater dining at the award-winning Grand Cafe Brasserie and Bar, where the city meets for drinks and delightful French cuisine.
