"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
"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

"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
