In 1991 nine San Francisco artists put their heads and hearts together with a singleness of purpose. Their collaborative genius created the inspirational hotel thats definitely hip Hotel Triton a 140-room wonderland like no other. Inspired by the original creators imagination our San Francisco boutique hotel continues to evolve always staying at the forefront of all things visionary and distinct. Step inside our lobby and check out a fantastic mural that tells the story of San Franciscos growing and ever-changing art scene. Discover stunning photos in the hallways instead of uninspiring art you have learned to tune out. We even designed a collection of celebrity hotel suites joining forces with some of the most dynamic names in the entertainment industry. The Hotel Triton a Kimpton Hotel is also an inspiration and pioneer in environmentally friendly. Our entire Union Square hotel is cleaned with green products our eco-friendly rooms and eco-celebrity suites are hugely popular and we have partnered up with The Trust for Public Land donating a percentage of room revenue to this visionary organization. Best of all just two blocks from Union Square Hotel Triton is right in the center of the scene that drives San Francisco. Across the street from the Chinatown gates our boutique hotel is conveniently located five blocks from Moscone Center and is just a short walk to Little Italy. Its no wonder Harpers Bazaar singled out the Hotel Triton as the best hotel in San Francisco calling it a happening and unique escape from the mundane.

Loved the stay!

We stayed at the Trition for a weekend and loved it! The room was clean and comfortable. Very good value for the room, however, if you're planning on watching a movie in the room be prepared to pay quiet a hefty amount! Basically anything extra will cost you quiet a bit. Room service is clean, staff is very helpful and friendly and best of all...the location! You're located right in between the french district and chinatown. There are many cute french restaurants around the hotel, some of which offer live jazz while you're dining. The hotel is a few minutes away from union square and the bart. I would definitely recommend the Trition! Oh and make sure to try out the breakfast at Cafe Claude, the french bakery next door!

Room was Cold

Everything was good except the room was cold and there was no way to make it warmer. The airconditioning's hot setting didn't really help, and the staff couldn't help beyond telling me to use AC. Otherwise, the room was comfortable.

Totally Retro-tastic!

Great experience! Such a great atmosphere and so welcoming. The staff were awesome and always willing to help in any way (helping with luggage, taxis, and directions, etc.) Would highly recommend staying at Hotel Triton and it is located in an area with easy access to so many great places like China Town, Old Saint Mary's Cathedral, Union Square, and the Trolley Cars to Fisherman's Warf.

Remarkable stay

Great experience. Hotel next to all major sites downtown. Chinatown next door. Very artistic contemporary atmosphere, free wifi, clean cozy room. Free coffee service and wine hour. Very friendly and helpful staff. Only issue is shower cabin way too small. Overall favorable experience and great value, do recommend.

Enjoyable!

This was a great hotel for couples who like something a little retro and slightly hipster! Very colorful hotel. The location is great! Right across the street from Chinatown and only a cable car away from Fisherman's Wharf! It's in Union Square where all the shopping is! The staff was also wonderful! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great small Hotel

When I first walked in I though the room smelled funny, but my friend, who is a local, told me that's normal for old buildings in SF. The staff was very friendly, made you feel like your were their only guest. Going back to the room, it was nice and small. Overall I would recommend this hotel.

Enjoyed our stay

Convenient and comfortable, we walked all over the city from here. Our room was quieter than we would have expected, too. Very friendly and helpful staff.

On the Road, Ducks and Wine

Due to heavy rains up in Sonoma, we had to make a quick change of plans and were really happy to find a good deal on this Hotel. Seriously, you don't get more of a central SF location than this. The valet parking was very easy and convenient - it costs, but if you have to deal with a car, it's worth it. They provide great coffee in the morning and a wine reception for guests in the late afternoon. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We missed out on getting a Queen size room, and ended up with a Full size. Loved the Kerouac "on the road" wall paper and writers room decor. I will say that, if you are not smaller sized people, the full size room would be a bit of a challenge (Petite/cozy bathroom and minimal/small main room). And, also, don't in any way expect complete quiet - you're in the middle of biggest and busiest tourist spots in the city - bring your own earplugs ;-) We loved the extremely funky lobby decor, as well as the exterior fountain, where eclectically garbed rubber ducks would mysteriously appear.

Sightseeing tip: Long walk from hotel

If you feel like giving yourself a challenge with a reward at the end, walk up Grant Street through Chinatown, and turn left on California Street. Feel the burn as you walk up to the Mark Hopkins Hotel to treat yourself to a cocktail and fantastic view at the Top of the Mark.
