in North America
The Galleria Park’s 177 rooms are located 2 blocks from Union Square, the Financial District, and Chinatown. The upscale hotel is decorated in art-novueau style (constructed in 1911). The rooms include data-ports for dialing up the ‘net and VCRs. Valet parking is available for an additional charge along with a fitness center and rooftop park jogging track.
Barbara from Maryland writes, “The Park Galleria on Sutter was a wonderful place to stay. Price listed for double room was $275 per night, but we were able to stay for $130 due to discount hotel booking online<. The doorman was polite, as well as other employees. Hotel offered to upgrade us to king-size beds upon arrival. The rooms were comfortable – great for a family of four, with 2 double beds. The hotel offered wine tasting at night, and a cozy, blazing fire in the lobby. We would definitely stay there again!”
N.K. writes, “It was really great, I definitely recommend it highly. Great location by Union Square, very convenient to all transportation and such. I paid $99 a night and it was a great value compared to other hotels. In terms of the room, it was very nicely decorated with 2 loveseat/couches, lovely wallpaper, lamps, etc. Great. Also, there was phones at every desk, an iron & board and an umbrella already in the closet, Aveda bath products (not cheapo hotel soap),and your own private fax machine.
Also the hotel has a gym, an outdoor jogging track & courtyard, and they have a free wine reception in front of the fireplace every evening, (or tea/coffee in the morning). The staff was friendly and helpful. Two thumbs up, I will definitely stay there again without a doubt.”
R.M. writes, “The rooms were very clean and pleasantly decorated. The staff was great. The concierge was most helpful and was able to obtain reservations in restaurants you suggested. The morning coffee and evening wine reception were just what the doctor ordered. I highly recommend this hotel.”
