How these properties were selected
Every hotel on this page currently operates within the Marriott portfolio under an active Marriott brand. Properties were reviewed to confirm current operations, location details, and brand affiliation before inclusion.

Booking tips for Marriott Bonvoy members in San Francisco
- Every hotel on this page earns the same 10 Bonvoy base points per dollar, so the JW Marriott or an Autograph Collection hotel earns no more than a standard Marriott. Only the Marriott Vacation Club, a timeshare, works differently.
- The Courtyard at Fisherman's Wharf (580 Beach St) rates a 9.0 despite its 3-star classification, making it one of the higher-rated Marriott properties in the city.
- Marriott Vacation Club on Jones Street operates on a timeshare model; availability for non-members is limited and booking works differently than a standard hotel reservation.
- The AC Hotel at Oyster Point is east of Highway 101, a car ride from both BART and the airport, so plan for a taxi or rideshare to SFO.
- We have a separate page for Marriott hotels near San Francisco Airport if your trip centers on SFO access rather than downtown.
Marriott brands in San Francisco: what to expect
The JW Marriott on Mason Street is Marriott's luxury brand on this list. The two Marriott Hotels & Resorts properties at Union Square and Mission Street are full-service flagships with meeting space and on-site dining, drawing a mix of leisure and group business travelers.
Autograph Collection gives Marriott a foothold in the independent-hotel segment. The Jay on Clay Street in the Financial District and The Clancy on 2nd Street in SoMa both score 8.6 or higher. Hotel Adagio on Geary Street is the third, in a 1929 building.
W San Francisco on 3rd Street is across the street from Moscone Center, which makes it a regular pick for tech conference attendees. The Westin St. Francis on Powell Street is one of the oldest continuously operating hotels in the city and occupies a full city block on Union Square.
Courtyard covers the mid-range. The Van Ness Avenue location scores 8.6 and gives travelers a quieter alternative to the Union Square cluster, while the Fisherman's Wharf Courtyard on Beach Street is the highest-rated Courtyard on this list at 9.0.

Which Marriott hotel in San Francisco is the highest-rated?＋
Two properties tie at 9.2: The Jay, Autograph Collection on Clay Street in the Financial District, and Marriott Vacation Club on Jones Street near Fisherman's Wharf.

Do Marriott hotels in San Francisco earn Bonvoy points?＋
Yes. Every hotel on this list is in Marriott Bonvoy and earns the same 10 base points per dollar, whether it's a Courtyard, a W or the JW Marriott. Elite members earn a bonus on top, set by their tier, not by the brand. The Marriott Vacation Club follows timeshare rules instead.
Is there a Marriott hotel near San Francisco Airport?＋
The AC Hotel by Marriott at Oyster Point Waterfront on Veterans Boulevard in South San Francisco is the closest Marriott on this page to SFO, a short drive from the terminals. We have a separate page for airport-area Marriott options if SFO proximity is your main filter.

The Van Ness Avenue location scores 8.6, in a quieter area a 7-minute walk from Civic Center BART.
