The Andrews Hotel

European Charm Steps from San Francisco's Music Scene

The Andrews Hotel blends classic style and cozy comfort in the heart of San Francisco’s Theater District. Just a short stroll from Union Square and less than a mile from iconic spots like Chinatown and Nob Hill, this European-style boutique hotel offers easy access to the city's top entertainment venues. Rooms are warm and welcoming, with free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and thoughtful touches like leather armchairs and work desks. With an on-site Italian restaurant and a relaxed vibe, it’s a solid pick for travelers looking to mix music, culture, and comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is in the sweet spot for show nights. You're just a 10-minute walk from the Powell Street BART station, making it easy to get to and from San Francisco International Airport or jump on late-night transit. Union Square and nearby music venues are within walking distance, so you can skip the rideshare lines. The neighborhood stays lively but not overly noisy, and with a 3:00 PM check-in and a generous 12:00 PM check-out, you’ve got flexibility to sleep in or prep at your own pace.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends catching a show and exploring the city
• Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list artist
• Couples enjoying a romantic concert weekend
• Fans who want a calm, classic space to unwind after the show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want charm without the steep price

Food and Drink Options

Fino Ristorante & Bar, right in the hotel, serves up satisfying Italian fare and daily specials—perfect for post-concert cravings. While room service isn’t 24/7, the on-site fireplace-lit dining room is a cozy late-night option, and you’re surrounded by walkable eateries ranging from casual bites to upscale dining. Morning-after recovery is easy with breakfast available on-site or nearby.

Nightlife Options

While The Andrews Hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re right where the action is. The Theater District and Union Square are packed with bars, lounges, and live music venues just minutes away. For a chill nightcap, Fino’s bar offers a relaxed atmosphere and a solid wine list.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, charming vintage feel, and excellent location for walking to shows and city highlights. Many mention the warm, European vibe and say it’s a great value for the area. The in-house restaurant also gets high marks for quality and convenience.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms aren’t large, and the building’s historic character means you might hear some hallway noise. There’s no air conditioning—rarely an issue in SF, but worth noting during warm spells. Some guests mention the elevator is small and a bit slow, but hey, it adds to the old-school charm.

The Bottom Line

The Andrews Hotel is a cozy, character-filled base for concert-goers who want to stay near the action without sacrificing comfort or breaking the bank.
