Nightly Rates: Starting from $274 - $399
Neighborhood: Lower Nob Hill
The first on my list of extended stay hotels in San Francisco is the Wyndham Canterbury San Francisco. All of the rooms here are suites with separate living rooms. All of them also include a small kitchen area so you can make a few basic meals.
The rooms at this three-star hotel are modern with bright, colorful accents. Additional amenities include:- Business center

Fairmont Heritage Place
Address: 900 North Point Street, Suite D100
Nightly Rates: Range from $700 - $1,800
Neighborhood: Fisherman's Wharf
The Fairmont Heritage Place is the most expensive, and most luxurious, of the extended stay hotels in San Francisco on my list. This five-star hotel offers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments.
The hotel is fairly new and is in the historic Ghirardelli Square building. It's less than a block from the San Francisco waterfront, so each room has an amazing view of the bay.
The rooms also have an outdoor terrace with a fire pit. In addition, you will find a small kitchen in each apartment. Other key amenities here include:
- Free high-speed internet
- Fitness center and restaurant on site
- 24-hour butler and concierge services

Another one of the extended stay hotels in San Francisco is the Steinhart in the Lower Nob Hill neighborhood. This three-star hotel offers suites only. All have a small kitchen with a microwave and small refrigerator.
Guests are required to stay a minimum of five nights here. Some of the amenities you will find at the Steinhart include:
- Free high-speed internet
- Housekeeping service once a week

Lower Nob Hill is a great location for those staying for a long period of time. It's centrally located, close to several public transportation options, and in the middle of dozens of top restaurants, bars, and other retail shops.
Other Extended Stay Options
In addition to these hotels, you can also rent an individual apartment from a local. This might sound like a more-risky option, but with TripAdvisor reviews, you get a good feel for what it's like to stay in each of the places available.
I do this often when I travel. I love having more privacy with no one coming in or out of the apartment while I'm gone. When I stay for a longer period of time, I feel that I can unpack and be more at home than in a hotel.
If you are planning on staying for a long time in San Francisco, some of the neighborhoods I recommend are:
- Nob Hill: Safe, central location with high-end shops, restaurants, and bars
- Mission District: Very local feel. It's more of a transitional neighborhood, so make sure to find a place on the western side of Mission Street
- Noe Valley: Not touristy at all, mainly locals. Stay on the eastern side of this neighborhood for good access to public transportation
- Pacific Heights: Beautiful, historic neighborhood where you will mostly run into locals
