About this business

Hotel San Carlos, styled after the Italian Renaissance Revival, was built in 1928 and combines Italian and Southwestern influences. It is one of the first high-rise hotels with an elevator and air conditioning, a couple of features that earned it a place on the National Register of Historic Places as well as the Historic Hotels of America. In its early days, the hotel was frequented by some of Hollywood's movie stars like Clark Gable, Mae West, Marilyn Monroe and Spencer Tracy when performing at the historic Orpheum Theater ... read more

Great Location for Convention Center, don't plan on sleeping in – I liked the way this hotel looked-classy for sure. The downstairs was lovely and The food in the restaurant was fantastic-the waitstaff were ok but the bartender was a big sweetie and gave us 5 cent margaritas. Great location-just blocks from the convention center, and within walking distance for great restaurants-though you might have to ask a local-not your behind-the-deskers. Strange-the pool was shaded by a canopy thing so it wouldn't get too hot....The be... read more

The Breakfast Buffet is really great when they aren't running short on food and plates and having to wait in a long line for more – I would not recommend this to anyone (weather it was weekdays or weekends) unless you have no issues getting up at 4 am or earlier to bath before everyone else to keep from being scalded with hot water suddenly, or having your tush freezing from sudden cold water or just not having any hot water to take a bath at all... After 4 days and nights, I decided never again, they even took out maid grat... read more

Not as great as you'd think – For lovers of boutique-style hotels, this is NOT one that you want to stay at. Though the building's restoration is nice, there are some things to note. Walls are so thin that you can hear your neighbors' conversations as if you were in the room. It was miserable, especially late at night when people are talking in "day-time" voices. I heard another guest mention that it felt like staying at a hostel. The water pressure in our shower was weak the majority of our 3 night stay. The restaurant and ... read more

Old-World elegance in the center of downtown bustle. – In Short Built in 1928, this historic hotel accommodates the conference crowd with old-fashioned charm and Italian-Renaissance decor. Patrons are transported back in time when witnessing the chandeliered lobby and copper elevators. The hotel is also supposedly haunted by the ghost of a woman dressed for dancing who jumped to her death from the rooftop years ago. The in-house barbershop and shoeshine service are handy for pre-meeting primps, and the rooftop pool and sun d... read more
