Campton Place Hotel
340 Stockton Street
San Francisco, California, 94108
(415) 781-5555

Behind its rather plain brick facade, the Campton Place is a plush boutique hotel with 110 luscious rooms and a delightful staff, located only half a block from Union Square. Don’t be misled by the unassuming exterior; the instant you walk in, you’ll know you’re somewhere special. The lobby is intimate and plush with luxurious Asian touches in the ceramic pieces and hanging art; the color scheme is beige and brown with coral accents, very restful to the eye. The staff are very professional and attentive and quick with a smile.

Rooms are lushly furnished in soothing beige spiced with rust touches. Bedding is luxurious down; the beds looked incredibly inviting, with plump covers and four fat pillows. Each room is outfitted with a leather-topped desk and a chaise or an upholstered window seat; some have views over Union Square. Suites are luxuriously furnished in rich pearwood and light, elegant fabrics. Artwork is subtly Japanese but unobtrusive; it’s intended as background. The bathrooms were luxuriously large with beige marble tub surrounds and sleek pearwood-framed vanities; some had French doors. Closet space was more than ample. Room amenities included safe, minibar, playstation, CD player, and T1 access for Internet. Laundry, dry-cleaning, and concierge service is available.

The Campton Place is constructed from two buildings which have been combined into one. As a result, you’ll have a half-flight of steps up to some of the rooms. If stairs will cause you difficulty, be sure to say so when you make your reservation, so they can reserve you a room on the elevator level.

This hotel also states it is "pet-friendly," perhaps unusual for a hotel outfitted so luxuriously; still, your pet will cost you $35 extra per day.

The hotel has a roof-top fitness center with a canvas awning; you can gaze out over Union Square while you put in your treadmill or exercise-bike time. The restaurant, serving French-Mediterranean cuisine, has a 3 ½ star rating and is overseen by a chef nominated for a James Beard award. There is also a bar, and room service is available 24 hours a day. The concierge can assist you in making any entertainment arrangements you would like.

Rooms with a single king bed range from $335-$470, while double-doubles run $445. Midrange suites run $550-$850, and luxury suites run $1,800-$2,000.
