Rough Guide "Surprisingly quiet, given its tourist-stampeded location."
Michelin Guide "An unrivaled location... As if that's not enough to whet your appetite, the coveted hotel looks straight across to the sparkling San Francisco Bay and the Park's fleet of historic ships."
Travel + Leisure "Housed in the 1907 Haslett Warehouse, the Argonaut is the only hotel located in the Maritime National Historical Park." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This historic 1907 San Francisco building is now home to a maritime-themed boutique hotel."
Fodor's "The spacious rooms, many with a sofa bed in the sitting area, have recently been redesigned but still spotlight exposed-brick walls and wood-beam ceilings." Full review
Star Service "This still ranks among the best small hotels here, and it remains a champion along the north end of Fisherman's Wharf." Full review
Gayot "Set in Fisherman's Wharf, this Kimpton Group hotel goes for broke with its maritime theme."

"Drop anchor at this "nautical-themed" "secret" (part of the Kimpton chain), which offers a "breath of fresh air" thanks to "nice-sized" quarters with Frette linens and in-room spa treatments."

"Though the amenities are of an upper-end hotel... some rooms are tiny and get limited sunlight." Full review
Time Out "Built into a historic fruit-packing warehouse, this beautiful luxury hotel is the best in the area by far." Full review

Rough Guide "The place to stay if you win the lottery (or someone else is paying), this ultra-luxe hotel on Market St affords spectacular views across the city. Its plush rooms are the ultimate indulgence."
Michelin Guide "Nobody does modern luxury quite like this straight-away winner."
Concierge "The superluxurious Four Seasons San Francisco is a sanctuary so serene it's hard to believe it's in the heart of downtown."

Though the understated greige decor successfully straddles the line between contemporary and traditional, with clean lines and zero clutter, it lacks color and splash: If you like fringe and chintz, choose the Ritz-Carlton instead.
Fodor's "This exclusive, award-winning hotel is sandwiched between multimillion-dollar condos, elite shops, and a premier sports-and-fitness complex." Full review
Lonely Planet "The Four Seasons is huge, confident and very corporate, and one of San Francisco's best posh hotels." Full review
Oyster Kid-Friendly
"The Four Seasons' huge, well-outfitted rooms and attentive service are among the city's best, but the 277-room property falls a bit short of expectations." Full review
Travel + Leisure "A head-to-toe renovation in 2009 perked up this plush high-rise; rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, black granite credenzas, and Eames chairs. ." Full review
Star Service "Situated between Third and Fourth streets, adjacent to the Jewish Museum, in a dynamic neighborhood racing with activity, adjacent to the Financial District, Union Square shopping." Full review
Gayot "This luxury hotel facing Market Street in the Financial District towers over the city. Superior facilities immerse guests in contemporary elegance and refined details."
BlackBook "Tastefully modern halls of muted beige and blue tones, exotic African woods. Hushed, intimate feel of fifth-floor lobby offers womblike retreat from the clatter of Market Street."
