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.

I am not normally one to stay in a luxury hotel so I definitely don’t dress or really act the part. Everyone staff wise was super respectful, attentive and helpful with every request and recommendation. The Tonga Room amazing, delicious food and drink, definitely a beautiful place to stay with amazing views and and amazing staff.

We having been staying here since the 80s. We just celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary here, last week. We had a room with an incredible view from the 22nd floor. The staff is always amazing. This hotel is the true 5-star experience. We cannot think of a better hotel and location in San Francisco.

Fremont has lost its glory. It needs a major renovation . Staff is “tired” and simply don’t “care”. Overpriced food and beverages … a small bag of chips $17:00… a cup of coffee $18.00… overnight parking $88.00 + taxes Long line for check in. Waited 10 minutes at the check out counter but nobody was there so I just left.

I'm up at 5 am every day to write, and I set up my laptop-nest in the lobby, surrounded by fabulous memorabilia of the Hotel. My favorite part of the hotel in the outdoor courtyard in the back of the hotel. My youngest was super excited how with every room service delivery (we utilized it multiple times per day) upon arriving, they would set our dining table so nice and proper with linen table cloths and full place settings. Thank you so much to the entire SF Fairmont staff as you all went above and beyond to make our family feel welcomed. 5 Star Ratings from us! Read less
