Location-wise, this hotel scores big because major malls and flagship shops are steps from the front door; though once inside, the lobby seems a bit like an airport terminal—long, narrow, and full of folks tapping away on laptops.

Dining and drink options include the posh L27 Rooftop Lounge, which serves up specialty cocktails, small plates, and live music, or Decker & Dyer for casual fare from breakfast through dinner, but the real gem of this hotel is Oak Steakhouse. Frequented by locals and travelers alike, Oak takes traditional steakhouse favorites like Wagyu beef and prime rib eye to astronomic heights; their espresso-soaked chocolate cake is also not to be missed.

Spread out over 18½ acres on a bluff above Anini Beach, this Westin property marries the comforts of spacious condominium living with the top-notch service and amenities of a luxurious hotel resort.

Guest quarters are in two-story, Spanish Mediterranean–style buildings that surround patios and fountains. All rooms have private patios or balconies, as well as the brand's signature Heavenly Beds. On cool mornings, enjoy a jog on the property's many paths, which wind past a koi pond and beds of blue salvia and pink petunias.

The survivor of two major earthquakes, some headline-grabbing scandals, and even an attempted presidential assassination, this richly appointed and superbly located grande dame dating to 1904 is comprised of the landmark building, renovated in 2018, and a modern 32-story tower whose glass elevators reveal Union Square views from the upper floors. Regulars debate the virtues and drawbacks of the older and newer sections—the former historic with sometimes small rooms, the latter with great views and larger rooms but less atmospheric. Either way, it is undoubtedly one of the city's most famous hotels.
