I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for Fairmont Hotels. They are always historic sites and the service is superb. This one was no exception. I got a complimentary upgrade to the Bombay Suite. Fantastic. This hotel is classy and classic. Great location, great views. Make sure you join President's Club for free internet service. More

I stayed here for three night in February and just had a great visit. The valet, the front desk, the concierge and the operator were all very very helpful and upbeat. The room was fabulous with two queens and a great view of the Financial District and beyond to the East Bay. The concierge's dinner recommendations were spot on and... More

We were in Fairmont in February 2012 and had a room in the tower with a beautiful view on Alcatraz. We had paid 360 $ just for the room without breakfast. The location was not the best, it is not very central, it is on top of the hill, blocks away from union square. The Lobby is beautiful and was... More

Great hotel with brilliant location. Nice spacious rooms with big bath area and a walk-in wardrobe! The staff was friendly and the reception is warm. Opt for the tower rooms if booking in advance and register for the Presidents club for complimentary internet access. I would recommend this hotel for business / leisure travellers to San Francisco More

Great location and accomodations with beautiful view. If your thinking about staying somewhere else because it's cheaper, don't. I'll only stay here in San Fran. More

I stayed at the Fairmont when I travelled to SF for a conference. As noted the hotel is beautiful with a grand lobby and sits atop the famously steep SF hills in Nob Hill. The staff was warm and friedly. I did not have a Tower room due to the cost though I was very tempted as mentioned to the... More

The lobby is still magnificent and oozes history. The views of the Bay from the tower rooms are the best in SF. However, this is not an inexpensive place to stay and the service ranges from inattentive to downright incompetent. The bathroom was actually quite nice, but the room overall just felt sterile and a little past its prime, as... More

Attended a conference the night of January 19- outstanding desk staff, outstanding room and a panoramic view of SF from the BofA building to Civic Center. The only issue- the restaurant staff the following morning (several older gentlemen) assumed I'd have the breakfast buffet. When I ordered from the menu they seemed to be put out. Overall a very fine... More

My husband and I started our California vacation at the fantastic Fairmont. I am not a huge San Francisco fan because I find the city rather depressing when the weather is lousy (grey and cold in early Sept) and it's rather dirty with a lot of pan handlers, etc. So to return after a day of touring to the gorgeous...
