We were in Fairmont in February 2012 and had a room in the tower with a beautiful view on Alcatraz. We had paid 360 $ just for the room without breakfast. The location was not the best, it is not very central, it is on top of the hill, blocks away from union square. The Lobby is beautiful and was... More

Great hotel with brilliant location. Nice spacious rooms with big bath area and a walk-in wardrobe! The staff was friendly and the reception is warm. Opt for the tower rooms if booking in advance and register for the Presidents club for complimentary internet access. I would recommend this hotel for business / leisure travellers to San Francisco More

Great location and accomodations with beautiful view. If your thinking about staying somewhere else because it's cheaper, don't. I'll only stay here in San Fran. More

I stayed at the Fairmont when I travelled to SF for a conference. As noted the hotel is beautiful with a grand lobby and sits atop the famously steep SF hills in Nob Hill. The staff was warm and friedly. I did not have a Tower room due to the cost though I was very tempted as mentioned to the... More

The lobby is still magnificent and oozes history. The views of the Bay from the tower rooms are the best in SF. However, this is not an inexpensive place to stay and the service ranges from inattentive to downright incompetent. The bathroom was actually quite nice, but the room overall just felt sterile and a little past its prime, as... More

Attended a conference the night of January 19- outstanding desk staff, outstanding room and a panoramic view of SF from the BofA building to Civic Center. The only issue- the restaurant staff the following morning (several older gentlemen) assumed I'd have the breakfast buffet. When I ordered from the menu they seemed to be put out. Overall a very fine... More

My husband and I started our California vacation at the fantastic Fairmont. I am not a huge San Francisco fan because I find the city rather depressing when the weather is lousy (grey and cold in early Sept) and it's rather dirty with a lot of pan handlers, etc. So to return after a day of touring to the gorgeous...

We loved our time in The Fairmount, we were on our honeymoon and when we checked in the guy behind reception was lovely and upgraded us!!! The view from our room was superb and our bed was huge and comfy. We did not eat in the hotel, but the lobby and overall the whole hotel we thought was lovely and... More

Wow, we were impressed with this historic hotel, keeps the history alive. We visited around the Christmas holiday, the hotel and surroundings were decorated with charms and atmosphere, absolutely beautiful. Location was convenient, I walked out and took the cable to most places while my husband went off to work. The bellman service was impeccable. The room was comfortable but... More
