Handlery Union Square Hotel

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This is a historic hotel so you can expect some differences from a modern box. We asked for a quiet room which we certainly got. It was reached down a maze of corridors and the view was a wall. However it was beautifully quiet compared to the place we had at Fisherman's Wharf the night before."

10/10 Excellent
"We had such a great stay! The room was beautiful, and the bed was super comfortable. The game room was definitely a hit, and the complimentary s’mores were such a cute touch! 🍫🔥 The only thing I found a little odd was how strict they were about the 10 PM shut-off time for the s’mores area, but other than that, we really enjoyed our stay. The location is honestly the BEST part. You can literally walk to everything, which made exploring so convenient. We also felt very safe in the area, and our car was safe the entire time, which was a huge plus. Overall, a beautiful hotel in an unbeatable location. We’d definitely stay here again! ❤️"
