San Francisco
 
Trying to finalize hotel plans in San Francisco with my husband. I've narrowed it down to Campton Place and Four Seasons. Any preferences? Thanks for the help!

Since I live in SF I have never stayed in either place, however I like the location of Campton Place better than the Four Seasons. Very subjective I know, but Campton is more in the heart of things and even though the Four Seasons is only a few blocks away, it seems more isolated.

Thanks SAB. From the website it seemed like FS was very close to Union Square, but it looks like Campton may be the right choice. Thanks for the help.

You don't mention anything about what you're looking for in a hotel, but in trying to choose between the Four Seasons and Campton Place, location isn't a major factor since the two are only separated by the length of 3 city blocks (as the crow flies).
The Four Seasons is a much nicer hotel IMO, but I consider it so because it's spotless, practically new, and everything's in great condition.
But if you favor more boutique-y hotels, CP has a bit smaller feel than FS given that it has 1/3 as many rooms.

travleis although they are only three blocks apart there is a difference in locations. As I am sure that you are aware 3 blocks in SF can make a world of difference. I don't dispute that the Four Seasons is a newer and probably much more luxurious hotel, it is however a high rise on a rather sterile block of Market Street .
