Fairmont San Francisco

Wonderful experience! The Fairmont is over the top with service and beauty. The hotel is beautifully decorated for Christmas with a huge real gingerbread house! My room on the 22nd floor had the best view of the city and the room was extremely comfortable with soft, clean linens and a comfortable bed. I cant say enough about this hotel which is lined with historical references, pictures, and artwork. Fabulous!

The Fairmont is absolutely a grand old girl with opulent marble and gilding throughout. The lobby was decked out for Christmas with the amazing gigantic gingerbread house which looks and smells delicious. That was a big reason why I booked our stay in SF here. Beautiful Christmas decor in every corner. Over the weekend, people crowded in and took advantage of the champagne bar. Our room on the 10th floor overlooked the bay. The bed was comfy and the espresso coffee bar had tons of snacks, wine, and waters. Be aware that the snacks and beverages (other than the espresso pods) carry a premium price along with extra restocking fees and tax tacked on. The bath was beautiful with separate bathtubs and shower. Towels were thick and large. The shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, lotion and soaps all were specially created for the Fairmont using Rose 31 fragrance, which was delicately mild, not at all perfumey as I worried upon seeing the packaging. As resplendent as she is, the Fairmont is an old girl. In the mornings, I had trouble getting even warm water out of the sink. Using only the hot water knob, I either got a trickle of *cold* water or nothing at all. The shower had plenty of water that cycled between really hot to tepid. Just be quick on the handle. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Fairmont. Our Christmas splurge to each other was worth it.

Favorite place to stay in San Francisco. Staff is always super friendly and the location is great. Highly recommend getting a room on a higher floor. The views are spectacular.

Great experience as usual. service. breakfast buffet bedding. shower everything great as usual. look forward to next time

This is an iconic San Francisco hotel located on beautiful Nob Hill. During the holiday season it is popular, too popular, for its massive Gingerbread house and seasonal decor. It was impossible to pull into the port cochere which was jammed with cars. Valet parking runs $90 per night so perhaps arrange other transportation. Service was friendly and the room, a tower room with city view, was quite spacious but shabby and dated. The single panel windows were dirty. The tablet with hotel services and room service did not work. The fruit plate from room service was sad even for a neighborhood coffee shop. The event room on the other hand, was elegant and the food and service, very good. All in all, it should be a jewel of the city but this gem needs a serious polishing.
