InterContinental Mark Hopkins

Nob Hill, San Francisco

Virgin rating

The hotel

If you like historic charm and classic character but want modern high-tech touches too, the Mark Hopkins may hit the spot. The hotel is pretty central too, so you’ll be close to many of the city's hotspots. Be sure to pop up to the 19th floor lounge for a sunset cocktail or a nightcap, as you gaze out over the skyline, bay and Golden Gate Bridge. The lounge has a dance floor and live music on some nights, so you may stay longer than you plan to.

The various front desk staff were not particularly friendly, but Ben Duenas at the club lounge and Firas Muheisen are both rock stars! They were super responsive and attentive to our needs. The rooms are a bit tired, but we will return year after year for the charm and priceless experience we associate with the Mark Hopkins! Read less

This is my favorite hotel in San Francisco. I literally come back every month because the staff is so kind and makes us feel like we are at home.

Raffy is so sweet and always remembers me and my children every time we come. So thoughtful. Issa always makes sure I get the best room for me and my daughters. Tony is great and always makes sure my car is ready and my bags are safe waiting for me. The staff is truly amazing and reason enough to come back every month. I’ve never had this kind of treatment at any other hotel in San Francisco. Five stars 👍🥂 Read less

We stayed here for 5 nights and it was OK. It certainly has more character than the average IHG property but be prepared to climb hills each day or use the cable cars to get to and from it!!! The menu wasn’t great in the bar ir the restaurant so we tended to eat out. The staff are helpful and pleasant enough.. Overall it’s an OK kind of place. I… Read more

I personally wouldn’t rush back but then again there’s nothing particularly wrong with the property either. It’s just not memorable. Read less

Excellent stay and status recognition by Issa at the front desk. He cares about frequent guests and goes out of his way to make you feel welcomed and comfortable. The hotel, while older, has a charm about it and represents an excellent value in one of the best and safest SF neighborhoods, with exceptional views.
