"In the heart of the city, this 14-suite boutique hotel doubles as an exclusive members club for the tech elite and remains one of San Francisco’s most coveted social hubs. The atmosphere is built around a packed events calendar and a myriad of upscale dining and drinking options open only to members and hotel guests, while business travelers also benefit from a quiet workspace downstairs and an arcade-like game room for blowing off late-night steam." - The MICHELIN Guide
"A 14-suite boutique hotel embedded within an exclusive social club, notable for its maximalist interiors that nod to the city’s layered history (from Chinatown-inspired motifs to reclaimed ship beams). Hotel guests gain access to the club’s lively social spaces, multiple bars—including an outdoor terrace and a secret bar hidden behind a movable bookcase—plus near-daily events like comedy, burlesque, readings, and concerts, making it a built-in community hub steps from North Beach and the Embarcadero." - Jessie Beck
"A chic member's club that also doubles as a hotel, it feels intimate and quiet with only 14 accommodations, and after a long day you can unwind in the cozy courtyard with a tipple from the bar." - Christina Liao
"Awarded two Michelin keys as an "exceptional" property in California, this hotel and private members' club was acknowledged for its design, dependable service, comfort, and distinct character enhancing the local scene." - Stacey Lastoe
"If you’re expecting a private member’s club in San Francisco to be full of app-pitching tech hucksters, then you’ll be pleasantly surprised by The Battery. Business chat is discouraged, photography is out of bounds, and public mobile phone use is restricted. The only way in is to be a member — or have a reservation, which earns you one of 14 stylish, tastefully luxurious suites and rooms." - Mark Fedeli
