LUMA Hotel San Francisco

LUMA Hotel San Francisco

10/10 Excellent
"We loved everything about this hotel! The location is perfect for a trip to the ballpark or Chase Center and it’s safe to walk to and from events there. Everything from parking to check-in to amenities was so easy and high tech (think robots delivering to your room). The property is very beautiful and stylish. It’s not a cookie-cutter hotel. And, most importantly, the staff and customer service was top notch! Can’t recommend this place enough and for sure will be back. Don’t think twice!"
