Overview

Ideally located in one of the most famous areas of San Francisco, the Nob Hill District, the Cable Car Hotel has been a fixture of the city since 1907. Guests of the property will find a friendly staff that speaks English, Spanish, and French. Plus, the immaculate rooms are all within 20 minutes' walking distance from some of the biggest draws of the city such as Union Square, Chinatown, Fisherman's Wharf, and Lombard Street. Its namesake cable car stop is just across the street from the hotel. There are laundry facilities and vending machines provided for guest convenience, and there is a cozy business center located in the main lobby. Pets are not welcome in the Cable Car Hotel.

The guest rooms are available with private bathrooms or with shared bathrooms. Each of the rooms also contains a microwave, refrigerator, ceiling fan, and flat-screen television. There is complimentary WiFi available in all of the guest rooms. All of the rooms are smoke-free and many of the rooms are wheelchair accessible.

Guests will find that there are plenty of restaurant options in the vicinity including Swan Oyster Depot, Mymy's Coffee Shop, and the Great Eastern Restaurant. Those needing to pick up a few supplies will find a Trader Joe's within walking distance. Also accessible on foot is the Grace Cathedral, the Cable Car Museum, and the San Francisco Playhouse. The Marin Highlands is just 20 miles away. The nearest airport is the Oakland International Airport which is a little less than 12 miles from the Cable Car Hotel.
