Rough Guide
"The most famous of Nob Hill’s landmark hotels... fantastic views from the rooms."
Michelin Guide
"This queen of the city retains a traditional charm."
Concierge
"Rooms... in the original building have high ceilings and a rich sense of place, but not all have views; rooms in the vintage-1961 tower have jaw-dropping vistas yet feel more generic."
Fodor's
"Amenities and special services (including... a newly crafted Intersect Media Lounge complete with multiplayer Guitar Hero and Wii Golf) keep loyal guests coming back." Full review
Insight Guides
"You are greeted by a warm welcome, and an elegant atmosphere extends throughout, except perhaps at the tropical-themed Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar."

"The Fairmont combines the history, cachet, and decor of a turn-of-the-20th-century grand old dame with the amenities, technology, and corporate-dominated clientele of a large chain property." Full review

Rough Guide
"This small, fifteen-room hotel has tiny but dramatic rooms featuring canopied beds and Art Deco-ish bathrooms, all done in rich, dark colours."
i
Columbus Ave can be noisy, so if you’re a light sleeper, ask for a room at the back.
Michelin Guide
"North Beach's strong Italian roots and beatnik past live together in perfect harmony at Hotel Boheme."
Frommer's
"Romance awaits at the intimate Hotel Bohème." Full review

Request a room off the street side, which is quieter.
Concierge
"Smack dab in the heart of North Beach, San Francisco's Little Italy, the Hotel Bohème nods to the neighborhood's Beat era heyday."
Fodor's
"This small hotel in historic North Beach takes you back in time with cast-iron beds, large mirrored armoires, and memorabilia recalling the Beat generation." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"Although the guiding motif is the Beat era, this 15-room hotel feels more like a 1930’s pensione in Florence, only without the meals." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"The stylish and hip Boheme is a homage to the Beat Generation, in the heart of where it all began. Bold color schemes and whimsical touches enhance the hotel’s poetic vibe."
Star Service
"Located smack in the midst of San Francisco's vibrant North Beach neighborhood, this hotel provides an ideal place for travelers who want to immerse themselves in the bohemian spirit of the area." Full review
Gayot
"Rooms are sparse at the three-story Hotel Boheme, but, considering the property's name, that's the whole idea."
BlackBook
"Street clatter and cafe chatter characterize North Beach neighborhood best known for bringing notes from the underground to the surface."
