On most of my business trips to San Francisco, I stayed at the Fairmont Hotel. It's historic rooms in the "old building" were a treat, although could have used a bit of updating just for comforts sake. But, despite the "old" feel of those rooms, the location is the key to the Fairmont's success. It sits right atop Nob Hill,... more

This was my second visit to the Fairmont. My first visit I stayed in a tower room with views of the city and fell in love with the hotel instantly. This visit was for my honeymoon and we booked the same room type but were upgraded to the Bali Suite in the main building. I was initially worried that the... more

The hotel is first class, everything from the bellmen to the maids. views are spectacular and the location is perfect for a great San Francisco retreat. We had 800 company representitives here for this function, and to my knowledge there were no problems. AWESOME place to stay. I will most certainly return to this fine establishment. more

We love to visit our favorite places - the city and The Fairmont. Is clean, detail oriented and with good location. Walking distance to China Town, Union Square and more. We love nice room and service. This hotel is perfect . more

My husband and I spent our wedding night at the Fairmont. It was fantastic. The room, a balcony suite, was bigger than our apartment, paneled in wood, with real books on the shelves and was simply lovely in every way. The desk people were courteous and when I called for information about room service or how to work the fireplaces... more

It's expensive relative to others but you do get what you pay for. Location was unbeatable and the tram stops on the corner, so it's easy to hop into the town or down to the bay. The hotel opposite has a roof top bar but get there early as we had to queue! more

Rooms were small, everything was too expensive. Neat history of the place, but the room was small. more

We stayed for one week at the Fairmont, for a professional convention. We had a room in the tower section, on level 2. The best is to have a higher level, facing the golden gate. It is a huge hotel that could cater for the 600 delegates of our convention. Though, you don’t feel the hotel being that crowded. All... more

The service at the Fairmont was courteous, overall 4-star but a little uneven. At check in the desk was most welcoming and the parking charges were clearly explained at over $50/day additional parking. There are significant additional taxes, so expect sticker shock at checkout. We were appreciative that the desk check-in upgraded us to a larger suite since we had... more
