The Fairmont is a tradition style hotel and is located atop nob hill. This is not far from the main shooping areas and Union Square (approx 10 mins walk) however as other reviewers have noted it is a steep uphill walk on the return to the hotel. The lobby and entrance is very impressive and there are lots of old... more

This palace of an hotel has a long and distinguished history in this charming city on the Bay. It sits solid as a rock at the top of Nob Hill. From upper floors there are fine views but lower floors see buildings opposite. Nob Hill is otherwise not a great location. You need the cable cars all the time to... more

My parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary at the Fairmont. My dad specifically selected it because he remembered the Fairmont from the "Hotel" television series of the eighties. My parents enjoyed their stay very much. They were thrilled when the staff congratulated them on their anniversary, upon arrival, and the personal greeting of the manager. They were given a beautiful... more

Our family of 4 (teen boy, tween girl) just returned from a four night stay at the Fairmont San Francisco. My husband was attending a business function, so the company made the arrangements (they did good!). This was our first visit to San Francisco, and when I mentioned this to the young lady checking us in (Rowena), she went out... more

Saw a good deal US$174 (Fairmont Exterior Queen/ Queen) on expedia & called the Hotel to match price. Line-up in front of Fairmont Member check-in counter was long, as everyone seem to be member now. The only privilege left is free internet usage. Requested for early check-in but room was not available on arrival. When we went back to check... more

We recently enjoyed a weekend stay at The Fairmont San Francisco through Disney Vacation Club points usage. As a quintessential San Francisco property, there is much to this property as well as nearby. We stayed in room 590, the Dunkirk suite. It is a corner accomodation with great city views. It is well appointed in the classic sense; elegant Napoleonic... more

Stayed here with a $249 night rate. Had read reviews of loud rooms so I asked for a quiet one when I checked in. Being a Presidnet's Club member helped, also...as I got a very nice room overlooking the center courtyard that was really quiet. Great staff and a nice stay. more

Well, I must say that although I was initially a little apprehensive about staying here because of some of the reviews that I had read on here, the hotel proved that there is just always going to be people who just can't be satisfied. My wife and I decided to stay here on the last 3 days of our honeymoon... more

I had a very quick trip out to San Francisco for work, and stayed here for one night. I got a good rate (around $270 per night total), but I think I'd probably be disappointed if I paid that much and I was on my own dime. The lobby is enormous and beautiful. This is one of those old hotels... more
