The service at the Fairmont was courteous, overall 4-star but a little uneven. At check in the desk was most welcoming and the parking charges were clearly explained at over $50/day additional parking. There are significant additional taxes, so expect sticker shock at checkout. We were appreciative that the desk check-in upgraded us to a larger suite since we had... more

We stayed here as part of our Honeymoon. We knew it would be a beautiful hotel and it didn't disappoint. The hotel is truly stunning & has so much history. The Staff were really friendly and we even got upgraded and had the most beautiful view looking out our window we could see Alcatraz. The room was beautiful too with... more

Overall it was fairly nice, and we got a good deal because we booked with an airline package deal. The room was quite small and the fan in the bathroom did not work. Also, the mini bar was well stocked, but wow, was it ever expensive! I think I paid $6.50 for a can of sprite! The bottle of Evian... more

We had a very nice stay at the Fairmont, and whether you love it or not depends on point of view -- this historic grand dame was elegantly renovated -- but ten years ago.... So, the furnishings are far more luxurious than an average four star, but slightly too worn for top ratings. The beds, however, are very good and... more

We were in san Fran as part of our honeymoon and ended up at The Fairmont after we had a terrible first night at a different hotel. My Mum arranged for us to stay at The Fairmont from The UK. On arrival we were blown away - compared to where we had stayed the night before! The entrance is beautiful!... more

My husband and I received a room on the 22nd floor and were treated to astounding panoramic views of the city during our stay. We had clear views of the city when we first entered the room in the afternoon. When we came back after dinner, we now had the twinkling lights of the city laid out before us. In... more

My husband and I stayed at the Fairmont on the last part of our honeymoon. We were upgraded to a tower room on the 21st floor with amazing views of the bay, golden gate bridge and Alcatraz. I don't think that we have had a better view anywhere else we have stayed in the world. Our room was very comfortable... more

The hotel harks back to the days when it was first built. If you're looking for a modern hotel, this is definitely not for you. A lot of marble and gold. I stayed there 2 weekends, one in a very high floor room (nice view, small room, large bathroom) and the 2nd time was in a high floor suite (AMAZING!!).... more
