For January 2027, Gondola compared live cash and points rates across San Francisco's hotels and narrowed them to the 20 with the best points value, ranked by how far your points go against the cash rate. The strongest points redemption is Hotel Adagio, Autograph Collection: 114,000 Marriott Bonvoy points a night for a room that costs $5,682 in cash, about 4.98 cents per point. For a more everyday stay, Grand Hyatt at SFO runs 20,000 World of Hyatt points a night versus $458, around 2.29 cents per point. Cash rates in SF are steep, which makes points bookings especially smart. The best redemptions tend to be around Union Square, Fisherman's Wharf, and SoMa.
