Top ways to experience The InterContinental Mark Hopkins building and nearby attractions
The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Nob Hill
Swanky and stylish, Nob Hill sits in the heart of the city and is home to amazing architecture and views. The hike to the top can be a challenging workout for those who forego a cable car ride, but they will be rewarded with some of the city’s most beautiful architecture adorning its peak. Originally populated with mansions after the Gold Rush, most if not all were devastated in the 1906 earthquake and fire that followed. Luckily all is not lost; storied hotels and Grace Cathedral surround Huntington Park. Having a drink or dinner while taking in the sunset and views at the "top of the Mark" is tough to beat.

- claire tDenver, Colorado38 contributionsBeyond expectations, top notch as alwaysWe were treated like royalty by the whole team from the valet to the front desk (Issa is the best) to club lounge and top of the mark employees. Everyone has a smile and is so attentive and caring, it’s unbelievable. They made our stay very special and although the hotel is an amazing historical landmark with incredible views, it’s the impeccable service that makes us come back each time.Visited December 2023Travelled with familyWritten 27 December 2023

Covid-19 affected stay. This has been one of those SF locations you want to hit. The top of the Mark - closed. Cold bag breakfasts, this wasn't the expected result. It was a glorious Autumn weekend, warm and light breezes so walking around was great. The staff were efficient, we did not add on the maid service for two nights. The room was as expected from an Intercontinental property. SF here is pricey. Hoped for more.

The views are amazing! The staff is the absolute most friendly and accommodating hotel staff of all time! We could not be happier every time we stay here. The Mark Hopkins is like home away from home. We love their breakfast in the lobby restaurant and cocktails in the evening at Top of the Mark are the icing on the cake. It is quintessential San Francisco staying on the top of Nob Hill watching the cable cars go by (or riding them!) and Huntington Square Park is great for the dog and kids. Oh! Did we mention the hotel is dog friendly? Yes, our dog Bella loves the Mark Hopkins just as much as we do! Thank you for an amazing stay, as always and we will see you soon, Mark Hopkins!

This is where you want to go for a drink at the Top of the Mark bar. The views of the city and the Bay are superb, and the feeling in the bar is old fashioned luxury. Actually lots of history here. And this is a very beautiful hotel building.

I've often walked past this hotel with a classic early 20th Century design. It looks like a fortress from the lower level. Inside is very posh, and a good place to sit and enjoy a drink in luxury.

The hotel has the old charm of a fancy hotel but you can tell it needs renovation. The service staff was amazing ! All of them! My biggest complaint the uncomfortable bed! It was so soft that both my husband and I to see the chiropractor after our visit there. Time to upgrade!!

The staff has been absolutely incredible!!! From Raffy who first greeted us as we pulled up, to Tony who helped us with our luggage, and to David who checked us in. Our room is a corner room with the best view of San Francisco ANYONE could ask for! My travel agent told me that I would absolutely love this hotel and my room, HOLY COW!!! She was not kidding! We will be taking so many pictures from our room!
