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.

we stayed for 3 nights prior to thanksgiving. dog friendly hotel with water bowls and dog treats near the front entrance. the room was immaculate. great location for dog walking as huntington park is nearby - with a group of locals and their dogs during evenings. within walking distance to union square and shopping as well as chinatown. their valet parking was on the expensive end, so we chose to park at a nearby garage 2 blocks down the hill. too bad that the top of the mark was closed during our visit (due to covid-19 restrictions). would we want to return? yes!

With covid they have made the property feel safe and super clean. some of the services are changed for covid (like no room service) but the staff make sure the guest barely notice anything.... Ana at the front desk was amazing and wanted to make sure everything was perfect.... THIS is my new hotel in San Fransisco. Not one complaint. Read less

Let's face it we all need something nice in our lives right now with the World in chaos and The Mark was it for me in fact best of my year so far was this past weekend staying there. My first experience at the Mark was in 1977 at The Top Of The Mark so when I really needed a break from all the hardships of this year I decided to plan a romantic weekend (yes the rates are cheaper here on the weekends) basing myself and my new friend in a King Suite with Terrace/Bay Views and from check in to check out 2 days later the whole weekend was magical. The weather was San Francisco at it's best even better we had most of the City to ourselves. Front desk staff great and housekeeping perfect meaning they were there when we needed them and out of sight when we didn't. The suite was huge and we had views from bridge to bridge plus Nob Hill, Russian Hill and Telegraph Hill. Room was gorgeous and bathroom sparkling clean. Did I mention the rates on the weekend are significantly cheaper than during the week. I am an IHG Rewards member so booked through their site and got a great deal so for sure worth signing up for that. This weekend stay was a treat to myself and it turned out to be the best 2 days of my year so far. The management team should be proud their staff at every level they made our stay seamless and it was even more romantic than I hoped with half of the credit going to the hotel and the other half to the City for being it's most magical self. Highest marks from me, during these hard times it is hard to put on a good face but the Mark handled my weekend like I was an old friend coming to visit. Thank you to all, it was perfect. Read less

I had high hopes with it being a 4 star hotel, but I think next time we’d have a similar experience in a Holiday Inn. Customer service was great. The front desk lady was helpful and service was quick. FYI they ask for an additional $200 deposit for your room, even if you already paid for it.

I had high hopes with it being a 4 star hotel, but I think next time we’d have a similar experience in a Holiday Inn. Customer service was great. The front desk lady was helpful and service was quick. FYI they ask for an additional $200 deposit for your room, even if you already paid for it. They failed to mention that hotel parking was $65 a night and the garage across the street is $40 and (the garage is) known for ripping people off. We stayed in the garage and didn’t have any problems. It was worth it to not have to hunt for street parking. We had a view of the front of the hotel from our room. You could hear EVERYTHING going on outside because the windows are thin. At one point I could even here the valet cough from our room on the 5th floor. The curtains also had stains on them. When we were waiting for our food at the hotel restaurant, we saw a mouse running out from under a couch. We ate our food in our room where it felt cleaner. All in all, our stay was ok, but for a 4 star hotel I expected more. Can’t say we’ll ever stay there again. Read less

Beautiful old hotel with great charm. It is located on Nob Hill near Chinatown and Union Square. If you choose to walk around, then be prepared for an extremely steep hill. We were given a room on the 11th floor with a lovely view of the Bay Bridge and the TransAmerica building. The room was surprisingly large for an older hotel. We liked the grab and go dining area. This hotel has very friendly staff. Thanks for a wonderful stay. Read less
