“The best hotel in San Francisco!”

HoneymoonersRV

Lancashire

10 Jul 2008

This is the best hotel we have ever stayed at - and believe me, I am extremely hard to please! We decided to book our 3 night honeymoon stay based on reviews on trip adviser, and to say that this hotel met our expectations was an understatement! We were dropped off in the scruffiest van from the airport imaginable, yet... more

“Excellent Ritz”

0/1 found this review helpful

We've stayed at the Ritz from July 3rd through the 6th. Excellent hotel, service and rooms. A special thanks to the bartenders, Ruth and Jennifer and to the concierge David. A little overpriced, but it reminded me on so many ways in decor and service the Four Seasons in Istanbul. I will definitely stay at the Ritz when I go... more

We stayed at this hotel for four days with our two young children. We had a junior suite, which had ample room for the four of us. We also experienced the club level service for the first time. It was superb. Not only is this hotel beautiful, clean and classy, but the service was outstanding. The staff remember my children... more

Harbourbridge

We booked to stay at the Ritz Carlton through the hotel website, and traveled with our 3.5 year old son. We were registered for a conference held at the Moscone Centre with 22,000 other delegates - so you can imagine how packed the city was. We had high expectations having stayed at the Ritz Carlton In Bahrain. Overall, we felt... more

“Quite simply the best”

Quite simply the best. Few live up to the hype, the Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco does. We stayed two nights in May 2008. Firstly if you are uncomfortable paying the room rate at the R-C, SF then you shouldn’t stay there. No amount of service and fine surroundings will make you happy. However if you wishing to make your holiday pleasant... more

Dear TmanSydney_Australia, I hope you had a safe trip back to Australia. Thank you for including our hotel as the final destination for your most recent trip of the US --- that took you from Las Vegas and the Grand Canyons to Southern California and down to San Simeon, Carmel and then to the cool breeze of the Bay Area....

I took my son up for a a few days of sight seeing for his first visit to SF. We flew into Oakland and caught a taxi to the Ritz Carlton SF. It was great. Wonderfully convenient location. Nice clean rooms with some of the best beds I have ever encountered in a hotel. Modern facilities in the room and... more

“Awesome experience!”

Roowie

25 Jun 2008

My wife and I just returned from a 6 day stay at the Ritz-Carlton. This was our first trip to San Francisco, and as it was a reward through work for a sales contest, the hotel was booked/selected for us. That being said, the selection could not have been better. From the greeting at the entrance, to the very friendly,... more

This was our second stay at the Ritz in San Francisco. My husband and I travel to SF once a year for a tradeshow. San Francisco is our favorite city and we look forward to the trip all year, mostly because we love the Ritz so much. The service from the minute you arrive is perfect. The bellmen are professional,... more

“great breakfast”

22 Jun 2008

Nice, elegant building, good location to the shopping streets. Large room, comfortable bathroom. The bed was too soft. Although I had big screen TV, no wide range of radio, TV channels, no DVD or CD library. Excellent breakfast, the berries were amazing! Service was average. Swimming pool was great, the gym part too. more
