Arrived at Fairmont around 3pm to have our car door opened and luggage immediately taken off us by the bell boy as we were shown into the vast and brightly decorated lobby. There were plenty of relaxing and comfortable chairs, sofas and seats positioned conveiently around the lobby, with lovely colourful flowers in between. Huge lights and candleabras lit up... more

I stayed in this hotel for 6 nights in June 2008. It is a beautiful hotel and with a great view from the rooms in the tower (get one here if you can). The rooms are large and well equiped, although without any in-room coffee making facilities. Staff were very helpful. The surrounding area has little to get excitied about... more

I've always been a fan of Fairmont's older, legacy hotels like the Copley in Boston and decided to try their offering in SF. Service was generally excellent at check-in and at the hotel lounge, but the concierge was unable to suggest simple offerings such as a good local lunch place outside the hotel to grab a burger & beer (was... more

Even though I'm from SF, I stayed here because the company I work for had some sort of conference...... It's an old classy hotel. Nice restaurants and bars. Close to all the shopping. The top floor has a beautiful 360 degree view. of SF The terrace restaurant/bar is great if the weather is nice. The lobby was really confusing because... more

We stayed three nights this month at the Fairmont and loved it. The room in the tower was comfy and a good size. The bathroom had a free standing shower as well as a deep bath tub. The toiletries were luxurious - we want to find where we can order the soap! The bed was super with lots of pillows... more

We stayed in the Fairmont for 4-nights at the end of May 2008, having booked a Fly-drive holiday with Virgin Holidays. It was the first nights of our Honeymoon and on check-in we were offered a reduced rate upgrade to a Suite in the tower. To say that it was well worth the money is an understatement! We were in... more

Stayed at the Fairmont with work. I am sure that this was a remarkable hotel back in it's day but it lacks modern comforts of most newer hotels. I had asked the hotel to come take a look at the air conditioner, because the blower was not working. I left the room, and returned only to find that the AC... more

We loved the Fairmont. It is a beautiful, nicely restored hotel on top of Nob Hill. It is in walking distance of Union Square. We stayed in a beautiful suite [room 636] with a very large balcony with a partial view on the bay and the ocean. Sitting out there, eating breakfast in the early morning sun, it was just... more
