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.

Upon checkin, we were assigned a room that hadn't been cleaned yet and had to make an extra trip to the front desk.

Upon checkin, we were assigned a room that hadn't been cleaned yet and had to make an extra trip to the front desk. On the second night, our keys stopped working and we had to make another extra trip to the front desk. The hotel has some historic charm, but it also has historic dents and dings in the doors, millwork, furniture, grime in the bathroom, etc. The kicker was arriving home and finding I'd been charged a $34 / night resort fee that I was not told about at checkin or booking. To be clear: there are NO resort amenities at the Intercontinental Mark Hopkins hotel. It is just shameless money grab. They may as well just call it what it is: an "extra money for us" fee for which the guest receives no value whatsoever. Read less

Definitely not a business hotel. To print a single document from the "business center cost over $20. I don't know if I would revisit for pleasure either. The hotel has been minimally maintained and it shows. A coat of paint only hides so much. I honestly expected a Big Wheels to come screaming around the corner every time I left my room!

We have been to the Mark Hopkins many times but this time they surpassed even their most excellent service. As I placed a last minute call on the Eve of my anniversary to the desk they provided a beautiful suite, brought our flowers and champagne , set them in the living room and made my wife very happy. We had an excellent day thanks to Issa and Arman at the front desk. They are always so helpful and go the extra mile to make us comfortable and offer us the best possible lodging. Always gracious and charming and o- so helpful. Many thanks to you and your team for making our 14th wedding anniversary so memorable and enjoyable Read less

This hotel is ok - does the job whilst site seeing in San Francisco but it needs a major refurb. Very dated interior, and the top of the mark in particular could be modernised and made so much better, also very expensive! We enjoyed our stay but would opt for somewhere more modern next time.

We have just got back from a fantastic 8 night stay at the Mark Hopkins. We have been to San Francisco many times and this is definitely our new favourite hotel in this great city. Thehotel is lovely. It is in a great position, not far from Union Square and really close to China Town and North Beach. Our room was a really good size and it was immaculately clean. We were on the 11th floor and the view was amazing. All the staff we met were really friendly and helpful and made our stay a pleasure. We will definitely stay here again. Read less
