Rough Guide "The epitome of swish sophistication... Pricey, ultra-cool and almost disarmingly self-aware."
Michelin Guide "Irreverent, unexpected, and surreal, its mind-bending and modern design is a little bit Alice in Wonderland and a whole lot of cool."
Frommer's "Young trendsetters now flock here for overpriced monochrome lavender streamlined rooms with often-minuscule bathrooms, glamorous atmosphere, and a heavy dose of attitude." Full review
Fodor's "The entrance is so nondescript here, you could walk right past it without a hint of what's inside, and that's exactly how the clientle—a mix of hipsters, music-industry types, and celebrities—like it." Full review

"Gloriously restored Victorian building enjoying its second life as a boutique B&B."
Fodor's "This Victorian mansion has a large comfortable parlor decorated in burgundy brocade, lace, and heirloom antiques." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Located near popular San Francisco destinations... the Queen Anne Hotel on Sutter Street is from the days of large Painted Lady Victorian mansions." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Queen Anne is a beautiful Victorian hotel, built in 1890. Each room is done up differently with antique furniture and authentic decorations."
Time Out "One of the more successful olde-worlde hotel operations in San Francisco, the Queen Anne is, as its name suggests, housed in an extremely handsome old Victorian property." Full review
Star Service "This is one of the best of its ilk in the city, a cheerful Victorian with an authentic and over-the-top period style that consistently thrills midrange traditionalists." Full review
Gayot "Dating back to 1890, this massive Victorian reigns over the Pacific Heights neighborhood from a prominent corner position."
