Hotel Zelos and Hotel Zeppelin Named Among the Top Hotels in San Francisco in Condé Nast Traveler's 2025 Readers' Choice Awards

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hotel Zelos and Hotel Zeppelin, boutique properties with bold personalities, have been ranked the No. 3 and No. 4 Best Hotels in San Francisco in the Condé Nast Traveler 2025 Readers' Choice Awards. The annual survey is the travel industry's longest running and most prestigious recognition of excellence. 

This year, more than 757,000 readers submitted survey responses rating their travel experiences worldwide to determine the year's best hotels, resorts, cities, and more. The full list of winners can be found at cntraveler.com/rca.

"We are honored that Condé Nast Traveler readers recognized Hotel Zelos and Hotel Zeppelin among the city's best," said Ben Malmquist, Area General Manager of the Z Collection SF. "This award reflects the dedication of our outstanding teams and their commitment to creating exceptional experiences for our guests."

Hotel Zelos, located in the historic Pacific Building at the convergence of Union Square, SoMa, and the Financial District, offers 202 stylish guestrooms and suites with a sultry, contemporary design. Among the largest rooms in the city, they combine modern comfort with a residential feel. The hotel's signature restaurant, Dirty Habit, is a bar-centric destination featuring innovative, locally sourced cuisine, expertly crafted cocktails, and one of San Francisco's largest collections of small-batch whiskeys. The heated outdoor patio is a favorite gathering spot year-round for locals and travelers alike.

Hotel Zeppelin, just a block from Union Square, is designed as a modern reflection of San Francsico's countercultural tradition. Its 196 guestrooms and suites channel the spirit of the city's visionary rule-breaking artists, writers, and musicians. The hotel's immersive design creates the feel of an underground urban hideaway. Its onsite restaurant, PLS on Post (Peace Love Soul on Post), opened in 2023 by the team behind Dirty Habit, and has become renowned for its gourmet smash burgers with inventive twists, groovy and classic milkshakes, and highball cocktails.

The 2025 Readers' Choice Awards are published online at cntraveler.com/rca and will be celebrated in the magazine's November issue.

In appreciation of the guests who made this recognition possible, both hotels are offering celebratory packages. Hotel Zelos, ranked the No. 3 Best Hotel in San Francisco, is featuring the "A Toast to You" package that includes a curated whiskey flight with three distinctive pours at Dirty Habit and the convenience of a 3 p.m. late check-out. Hotel Zeppelin, ranked No. 4, is offering the "Encore Four" package, which features a flight of four local craft beers hand-selected by the PLS on Post team along with one chef-curated appetizer. Both packages are available for booking and travel from October 7, 2025 through December 31, 2026.
