By far the best hotel we have ever stayed in. We got an 11th floor tower room with a great city view for $160/night. This is the hotel of presidents and royalty, and it showed. The breakfast is expensive, but it offered the best breakfast we have ever had in a hotel outside of Europe (nothing in this hotel is... more

The Fairmont is legendary and we really enjoyed our stay. Perched high atop Nob Hill (great views!) it's perfectly located to enjoy all that San Francisco has to offer. Although, as pretty much every other reviewer notes, the surrounding hills are steep, very steep. So...plan accordingly. Fortunately, two of the cable car lines are right outside the doors. Rooms were... more

Like The Drake hotel in Chicago, The Fairmont offers something more than the standard 5 star experience. It exudes old fashioned class and history without being stuffy. We took advantage of a summer special room rate of just over £100 per night which by European city standards is excellent value. Admittedly nothing can compare with the stunning lobby but our... more

The Fairmont San Francisco is well located, a reasonably short (but steep) walk to Union Square and Chinatown, with excellent access to cable cars as well. The views from some parts of the hotel are fantastic. I love the location. This is a "grand old hotel", but falls short of what it tries to be. It has grand common areas,... more

I was dreaming to stay in this hotel for a long time and when I finally arrived I was in Heaven! It truly is a historic old lady and very elegant. I booked a very special rate from their website and also signed up as a President Club Member which allows free Internet, local calls and speed checkin/out. The location... more

Spent second week of June at the Fairmont. It is a special hotel, we had a room in the tower which is not a suite but has plenty of room and a massive panoramic window. Reception said it had a bay view but that is really on the North Side of the tower, even so it was a great view.... more

This was our second visit to the Fairmont and it was even better than the first (maybe because we were sans kids this time!) The first thing that attracts your attention is the entrance--with the international flags overhead, the red carpet and the lovely doors. Then you step into the incredible lobby--floor to ceiling marble with columns, exquisite furniture and... more

Spoke at a conference at the Fairmont SF - great hotel, very magestic and the usual Fairmont touches. Got to my room and the drapes were open, exposing a view of the golden gate bridge - classical music (my favorite) playing and a fresh cheese and fruit plate with a cold bottle of water... ok.. the rooms are pricy, but... more

Dates: May 22 - 25 (3 nights) Who: me, wife, daughter (age 8) Previous stays: 2 (2005, 2008) Several months ago I received a mailing from Fairmont containing an upgrade in my President's Club status. I assume that this was to get additional business because I certainly had not earned the upgrade. Prior to this visit I have only stayed... more

It's a huge, monumental building with a fantastically over-the-top foyer. The location is perfect, with 2 cable cars at the back of the building, and with Union Square not so far away. Our room was great - we were upgraded. Don't bother with breakfast at the hotel - there is a Cafe at the back on the lower ground floor... more
