The hotel

Fairmont San Francisco embodies the grandeur of this historic city. It effortlessly combines impeccable service with luxurious rooms and top-notch facilities. As it’s set high atop Nob Hill, you’ll enjoy great city views and can practically hop on the cable cars from outside the hotel. When it comes to eating, you’ll find some delicious local food at the hotel’s three restaurants. Why not treat yourself to traditional afternoon tea at the weekend or visit The Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar for, apparently, the best Mai Tai in the city.

We had such a great stay here. We stayed in the tower and really enjoyed our room. The service was amazing - turn down service every night without even requesting. The bathroom had a bath tub and Le Labo products. The bed was very comfortable. It's also in a great location. We would definitely stay here again!

It's a tiring climb to the top of the highest hill in town. But the view was worth it The hotel is very historical, there is a corridor introduction, many famous people

Fantastic views, but major irritant is the nickel-and-diming of guests, extra charges for internet as an example. Yes, Accor members have internet charges credited @checkout, but that also doesn't go well with $500 room pricing - and is not posted anywhere! Short-sighted.

After having grown up in San Francisco and watching the TV series "Hotel," I finally got a chance to stay at the world-famous Fairmont Hotel. We loved the view from our room in the Fairmont Tower - gorgeous views of the Bay and the Transamerica Pyramid. The beds were very comfortable and the room was spacious. The bathroom was also a good size, although it looked a little dated, with brown marble tile. The air conditioning worked well, which was important, since the windows do not open. Speaking of looking dated, the lobby and the Laurel Court restaurant could use some updating. The R-C down the hill is a bit more modern. And, I'm glad I had a package which included a complimentary breakfast for two (value $90) as the Laurel Court breakfast was VERY expensive. We used up the entire $90 with just a coffee, glass of orange juice, an order of eggs benedict (with ham, not salmon), and a Fairmont Classic breakfast (2 eggs, toast, sausage, breakfast potatoes), plus tax and tip.

the hotel is well located, away from the crowd, yet close to ambiance and shops. I really loved the room size and view! a few minor upkeep issues, such as cleaning the radiator cover, as you can see shoe prints. a bit disappointed with the mattress. other than that, customer service was great. I was satisfied.
