Situated in San Francisco, 600 metres from Oracle Park, LUMA Hotel San Francisco features accommodation with a fitness centre, private parking, a restaurant and a bar. With free WiFi, this 4-star hotel offers room service and a 24-hour front desk. The accommodation provides an ATM, a concierge service and luggage storage for guests. This is such a lovely hotel -- it absolutely exceeded my expectations. Things I loved: -- The hotel is new (I heard it opened 6 months ago?) and it shows in how nice and clean the facilities are. I got a beautifully designed, modern room. I originally received a room facing construction and they were happy to switch it to a room with a beautiful view of the city. -- All of the staff was so kind, friendly, and helpful. -- They have an ADORABLE robot butler named Henry! The staff sent him up with a complimentary cookie shaped like the robot itself. He makes cute, R2D2-like noises when he drops off your stuff and asks you how your stay went. This was definitely a highlight of my stay. -- They give you a voucher for a free wine or beer to redeem at the rooftop bar. -- They have a nice cafe next to the lobby where they serve Craftsman & Wolves pastries. The design is so airy and open, and the cafe is very quiet and serene. -- Great location, right next to Oracle Park, only 15 min drive to SFO. The surrounding area is super safe and within walkable distance of lots of nice restaurants and cafes.

The hotel features family rooms. Big fluffy gray towels and roomy hot shower. Comfy bed and different pillow options. Mini fridge with freezer so I could refreeze my ice packs. Appreciated the microwave. The floor in the bathroom was not cold at all and kinda cushy - that was such a surprise perk. Parking close to stairs up to room. Wifi was truly free and didn't have to sign up for anything, just put in the password.
