Fairmont San Francisco

The world-class Fairmont San Francisco, atop the swanky Nob Hill, is located centrefold of the city and steps from the Cable Car Museum and a short cable car ride from Downtown, Financial District Union Square Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown and the wharves and eateries of the Embarcadero. The Golden Gate Bridge is a little farther. The buildings exterior resembles a Beaux-Arts architecture with iron lace balconies and towering building struts. The lobby is laced with imposing Corinthian columns, ornate ceilings and large potted palms. My Signature room promoted a cozy sleep with a sleek bed and supersized headboard. The space was outfitted in modern black furniture and top quality high-tech room appliances. The colour palette was soft in greys, creams and with the plush carpet, added a significant degree of homeyness. The view embraced the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the Bay. The desk was handy and the high ceilings accentuated the room spaciousness. The bathroom was 1st-class featuring marble tiling and with separate walk-in shower and deep tub. The hotels two dining venues featured elaborate menus. The Tonga Room and Hurricane Bar serves family-style meals and Polynesian plates in a faux straw hut atmosphere. This establishment claims to have the best mai tai in the city. The Laurel Court and Bar emphasizes fresh seasonable Californian coastal cuisine. I particularly liked the butternut squash risotto amidst other elevated food fare. The Fairmont provides Spa services at the Live Fit Gym and Wellness Spa. Facials, massages and the usual regimes dot the wellness menu. The Gym provides yoga, pilates and spinning classes as well as providing the usual cardio and free weight equipment. The standard level of impeccable Fairmont service was provided.

Excellent home base for a few days in San Francisco — convenient location with excellent service, great breakfast and a dog friendly garden on site. It’s uphill when walking but, that makes for nice views.

Never texted when room was ready, no mini bar, no water in the room, check-in was poor as we were given NO details about the property, not even something as simple as how to access wi-fi. Phones did not work in room, waited over 30 minutes for our luggage via valet, had to track someone down in the lobby to inquire what was taking so long, the carpet was dirty, windows very dirty. Woke up the next morning, and went to open the shade, the entire thing came crashing down on my hand, a little bit of blood and bruises but not going to let ALL this upset me because it's a special SF City trip with my 16 year old daughter - but WOW what a bummer. Should have stayed at the Intercontinental next door.

Beautiful hotel, within walking distance for a lot of things. At the top of the hills so walking back can be hard. Many buses and trollys travel near here. Clean rooms and lobby areas. Nice and welcoming staff. Beautiful Christmas decorations

We were here for a long weekend stayed from November 10-13, 2022. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, from check-in to check-out everything went without any issues. Our room #1002 was in the tower and had a great city view. The room was spacious along with the bathroom which including a walk-in glass shower as well as a tub. The shampoo, conditioner and body wash receptacles were at both places along with lotion at the sink. Our breakfast was in the Laurel Court each morning and we were able to get into the Tonga Room and Hurricane Bar two nights and as we were guests, the cover charge was waived as we were guests of the hotel. The drinks were pricey but very boozy. The food was just ok but we really went for the live entertainment!! The parking was an additional charge but was able to take the rental in and out of the hotel included in the daily charge. We plan to return to SF and would definitely stay at the Fairmont!
