"Most people in the city know The Battery as an exclusive social club, but it also houses a 14-suite boutique hotel, open to members and nonmembers alike. Featuring a maximalist decor that channels the many sides of San Francisco—be it Chinatown-inspired motifs on the curtains or beams from the old ships that used to dock in the immediate location (the area was once water)—the hotel’s design has a distinct sense of place." - Jessie Beck
"The Battery, California has been awarded two keys." - 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

"A blond-brick building tucked behind a row of shade trees, The Battery could easily be mistaken for a neighboring office building, if not for the discreet metal nameplate beside the front door. This hidden-in-plain-sight quality is by design: The Battery is a private club, which happens to house 14 high-end hotel rooms. The entryway, a long hall with a herringbone floor, preserves that aura of mystery, with peekaboo views into spaces that you can’t quite see into. The space, like the club, unfolds itself slowly. If you’ve always dreamed of becoming a member of an exclusive private club, this is your chance to become one for a night." - Megan McCrea, Jenna Scatena
