Historic Union Square Location
Chancellor Hotel On Union Square sits directly on the Powell Street Cable Car Line in San Francisco's Theater District. The hotel overlooks Union Square, surrounded by Macy's, Tiffany's, Niketown, theaters, and art galleries. Fisherman's Wharf, the Ferry Building, and Chinatown are within 1.5 km.
Compact Historic Rooms
The 137-room hotel features rooms with 43-inch LCD TVs, mini refrigerators, ceiling fans, and windows that open. Rooms offer either Union Square and cable car views or quieter rear-facing positions. Choose from 12 specialty pillows. Note: rooms lack air conditioning and bathrooms are compact due to the 1914 building's historic nature.
Dining and Meeting Spaces
The Breakfast Room serves hotel guests and visitors daily. The Clipper Ship Bar offers Happy Hour cocktails and wine. The 400-square-foot Clipper Ship meeting room includes a built-in whiteboard, complimentary Wi-Fi, and air conditioning for groups up to 24 people.
Transportation and Accessibility
BART trains from SFO and OAK airports stop at Powell Street Station, a 4-block walk from the hotel. Offsite parking costs $35/night at 524 Powell Street (vehicle must have physical key). Front doors have ADA buttons, but historic limitations affect wheelchair access in rooms and bathrooms.
Family Ownership Legacy
Operated by the original owner's grandchildren since 1914, the hotel maintains its historic character. Amenities include free Wi-Fi throughout, a lobby internet workstation, and access to a full-service fitness center 5 minutes away. The property has been inspected by a certified access specialist.
“This family-owned hotel, a fixture since 1914, sits squarely on Union Square, putting you steps from the cable car and the Theater District. The rooms are well-appointed, and I appreciate the little extras, like free cookies and a pillow menu. For travelers wanting a central, walkable base, this historic property delivers solid value.”
