The 260 bedrooms all have a contemporary décor, yet remain resolutely elegant. An arty factor is prominent throughout, examples being leather walls and a great art collection. While all rooms are great, the higher up they are the better the views. Some bedrooms have city views, with floor to ceiling windows and others overlook San Francisco Bay and the Yerba Buena Gardens.

The St Regis has two restaurants for guests to choose from, the chic Ame restaurant and the more casual Vitrine. The former focuses on New American cuisine with an emphasis on seafood, and has a sashimi bar. There is also a decanting station with a selection of award winning wines, and a super swanky bar which whips up great cocktails.

Service is key to the hotel's ethos, and butlers are on hand to unpack guest's bags or bring up a drink, and the concierge can help organise a day out and about in San Francisco. Facilities at the hotel include a swimming pool, a fantastic spa and a gym.
