Club Donatello stands 0.5 miles from Union Square's luxury boutiques, 0.5 miles from Grace Cathedral, and 1 mile from Chinatown.

Pros

Surrounded by notable restaurants including Farallon, Morton's Steakhouse, and Daily Grill

Walking distance to cultural venues: theaters, museums, and entertainment complexes

Close to major shopping destinations like Louis Vuitton and Neiman Marcus

Rooftop terrace offers panoramic city views

Cons

“In my opinion, this hotel's greatest strength lies in its location, moments from Union Square. I appreciate that every guest can enjoy the club lounge amenities. It seems like the on-site Italian restaurant, with live jazz, is a major highlight.”
