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
DK Eyewitness "Famous for its gorgeous lobby and opulent public rooms, the Fairmont is the grandest of all the grand hotels at the top of Nob Hill."
Star Service "This remains the most commercial of the once elite Nob Hill hotels, but it is also the most impressive." Full review

Star Service "The location is out of the tourist traffic but close enough for a comfortable walk to the cable car, and public transportation is available in this neighborhood." Full review
Gayot "Formerly the York Hotel, this property is ideally situated in Nob Hill near shops and restaurants."
Lonely Planet "It's a 10-minute walk to get anywhere, but you get more bang for your buck than right at Union Square – and bragging rights to a bit of movie history." Full review
Jetsetter "Whimsical Hitchcock-inspired boutique property in San Francisco’s Nob Hill neighborhood." Full review
Frommer's "Hitchcock buffs might recognize this small, mid-range hotel from his movie Vertigo...the hotel embraces its cinematic history, with both rooms and lobby featuring mid-century furnishings" Full review
