Taj Campton Place

Hotel details

Set in the prestigious Union Square in San Francisco’s vibrant heart, the Taj Campton Place is an intimate but utterly luxurious boutique hotel with a classical twist of European style.

With an ambiance of privacy and warmth that has been welcoming guests for over 100 years, this majestic hotel is adjacent to the financial district, premier art galleries, prominent museums, and the city’s best-known stores and is therefore an ideal base from which to explore one of the United States’ most engaging destinations.

With 110 superbly appointed rooms and suites, the Campton Place is small enough to feel like a home-from-home for travellers. Accommodation is modern and classy. Pear wood wall panelling and large limestone bathrooms are complemented by a soft autumnal colour scheme that is easy on the eyes. No luxury is spared here and guests enjoy Frette linens, multiple TVs, espresso machines and room service linked to a kitchen that never closes.

And it’s the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant that is the real jewel in the crown here. As an institution, it is considered one of the finest in a city that has no shortage of notable eateries. Headed by chef Srijith Gopinathan, the food can be best described as spice-infused Mediterranean cuisine meets Californian, with a heavy seafood influence. Under the careful eye of master sommelier Richard Dean, guests can pair the tasty cuisine with thousands of wines in the hotel’s notable cellar.

And, despite its central location, getting here could not be easier; the Campton Place sits just 14 miles from San Francisco airport.
