Cornell Hotel de France

The moment I arrived, I knew I would like the hotel. The front door remains locked at all times. You must be buzzed in or use your automatic remote to the key pad when your a guest. We (a group of 7 of us) were greeted warmly and I immediately felt comfortable. Due to our early arrival, our rooms weren’t ready, but our luggage was taken and locked safely in the storage room. Jo, who was fantastic gave us a marked city map and told of important tourist attractions. The best part, you walk out the hotel a few feet and can take a cable car directly to Fisherman’s Wharf. The rooms were small, but perfect. Clean French decor with a slight modern look to the room. Comfortable beds, extra blankets, WiFi and a new larger screen television. The dining room was extremely attractive and made you very comfortable. The breakfast hefty breakfast was delicious and only $12. I was very pleased and will definitely stay again when I visit the city. If you would prefer a smaller quaint hotel versus the large expensive name, this will be perfect for you.

Amazing place with a true French feel. My room didn’t have an air condition but that didn’t bother me.

I love the theme of the hotel.

The staff couldn’t be more helpful. Love the building and the elevator. Old and funky, which is what we look for in a hotel. Wonderful!!

For the last 15 years, I’ve been coming to SF on business once or twice a year and this was the 1st time I stayed at the Cornell Hotel de France. What a classic, beautiful, clean and adorable hotel it is! The staff is nice and helpful and the decoration and ambience makes you feel like you’re in France! To top the pleasure, their restaurant - Jeanne d’Arc - located in their basement is a gem. It is beautiful, excellent food and great ambience. I’ll recommend both the hotel and the restaurant to friends and colleagues - and I’ll definitely go back!
