Reviews for InterContinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco
A Truly Majestic San Francisco Experience
A Truly Majestic San Francisco Experience The Mark Hopkins was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional — elegant, gracious, and genuinely attentive. There is a sense of old-world hospitality and sophistication that makes you feel truly welcomed and valued as a guest. The food was excellent, and the location is hard to beat. If you plan to stay around this side of San Francisco, you really don’t even need a car. So much is within easy reach, making the hotel an ideal base for exploring the city. But what truly stood out was the service. There is a difference between simply staying at a beautiful hotel and actually feeling taken care of, and The Mark Hopkins understands that difference. Overall, it was a majestic experience from beginning to end — elegant, memorable, and exactly the kind of hospitality you hope for when traveling.

Not The Grand Lady of Yesterday
A grand old hotel that is more old now than grand. When I first visited 50 years ago it was one of the best. Of course, the Top of The Mark has great views and if you catch the right bartender you will have a great time. But the rooms seem tired with an odd mix of Goodwill furniture arrayed without any elegance. WiFi is horribly weak with less than 1 mbps up and down. No lunch room service. And the main lobby does not inspire one to hang out. The competition a few blocks away are at another level. The one reason to stay here is the location (and it IS THE location) and to save a few bucks while you visit the better food options nearby. Sorry to have to report this sad decline.

Great location. Hotel is functional - with some work going on to upgrade the property. We ate at the rooftop restaurant - great views but the service was sub-standard. Gym is reasonable - nothing great. Overall a good stay is SF.

EXCELLENT AND HISTORICAL
The location was perfect where you can walk to Trader Joes for water, walk to the pier if you like steep hills and the cable car is just one block from the hotel. Atmosphere was professional and they had a person at the desk who could help make reservations for your dining or sightseeing tours. Atmosphere was beautiful with roof top restaurant looking over the entire city and with periodic dancing with professional band. Rooms were clean, terrific views and spacious. Value: worth the money spent; cleanliness: cleaned every two days unless requested additional day. It was spotless. Noise level: quiet; Amenities: never used as I went exploring the city. NEVER GO TO THE TENDERLOIN AREA AS ITS VERY DANGEROUS.
