Fairmont San Francisco

We had a wonderful, memorable stay at this venerable hotel. I'd suggest upgrading to a tower room with a view, if you are able, as the view is definitely worth it. (I can't comment on the rooms in other parts of hotel.) The room itself had all the many comforts one would expect in a top hotel. Our stay included breakfast and we encountered none of the problems some reviewers mention. Waitstaff was professional yet friendly, the food was top notch, and we never waited for a table. I appreciated the many historic photos and relics adorning the walls, showcasing the hotel's place in SF history. The lobby is gorgeous and we loved the location, even if a good walk up. I highly recommend for a special visit!

Great location and lovely room. Safe to walk around

My wife and I stayed at The Fairmont to celebrate our wedding and our experience couldn’t have been better. Cameron was friendly and helpful at check-in and went above and beyond by delivering a dessert and hand-written card to our room to welcome and congratulate us. Orna was extremely responsive and did a wonderful job accommodating a floral request on short notice. Nicole set us up with the best table in the Tonga Room, where the service, drinks and live entertainment were a perfect way to cap off our celebration. Beyond these three, we were flawlessly taken care of every step of the way, from very helpful customer service over the phone to secure the best possible room prior to our stay, to a warm greeting and help getting our luggage upon arrival and a friendly and easy checkout. In addition to the staff, The Fairmont itself delivered across the board. We considered other options like The St. Regis and Four Seasons, but couldn’t be happier with having chosen The Fairmont. The neighbor is clean and quiet, with easy access to San Francisco’s major attractions. The lobby is grand and the common areas retain the character that comes with The Fairmont’s history, while also being well maintained and comfortable to enjoy. Our room had a stunning view spanning the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and Coit Tower. The gym is spacious and well equipped, including sauna and steam room access. Overall, we couldn’t be happier and can’t wait to return.

Gorgeous classic hotel on Nob Hill with legendary elegance. We enjoyed our wedding day and night at this hotel. Although our wedding was offsite, staff was very accommodating, in early room access for wedding prep, refrigerator for our wedding cake, access to the courtyard for photos. Reserved through AMEX Fine Hotels and Resorts. Free room upgrade to a huge room with stunning views. Early checkin, late checkout. The fitness center was phenomenal!. 2 levels of equipment. I didn't want to leave. Fun surprises like they have their own beehives on a rooftop. Dinner at the main restaurant was lackluster. But the breakfast was delightful.

The Fairmont San Francisco is one of the city’s most iconic hotels. Sitting at the top of Nob Hill, the building has incredible views and a long history of hosting travelers from around the world. Even if you’re not staying overnight, the lobby alone is worth visiting. It’s grand, elegant, and filled with old-school charm. The hotel is also home to the legendary Tonga Room tiki bar, which is a fun experience all on its own. A few of us from the staff at The Green Cross have visited over the years and it always feels like a piece of San Francisco history. Definitely worth seeing while exploring Nob Hill.
