Star Rating: 3
The Warwick Regis Hotel is a rare jewel two blocks west of San Francisco’s Union Square, internationally known for theater, dining, and shopping.
The eighty-room Warwick Regis Hotel is rich with the décor of the grand-style European hotels that is her heritage. Elegant, yet with a quality of personal service that can only be found in a small intimate hotel.
The building has remained a cherished San Francisco historical landmark since its opening in 1913, under the original name The Maryland Hotel. After completing two-and-one-half year renovation, the hotel reopened in January 1988. We celebrate over eight decades of history, culture, and tradition in Union Square.
In January 2002, The Warwick Regis Hotel completed a renovation throughout the hotel while maintaining its classic look. Highlighting the lobby is a silver-leaded dome with an antique chandelier, which hung in the chateau of the late designer Laura Ashley. La Scene Café and Bar, located off the lobby, adds first-class dining to this perfect hotel experience.
