Fodor's "Although the lobby's glittering crystal chandeliers... may hark back to an old-fashioned gentility, this 1926 redbrick-and-stone building... is now home to a modern luxury hotel." Full review

Travel + Leisure "First built as a bank in 1926, this 17-story Nob Hill hotel retains much of its original Renaissance-style architecture." Full review
Time Out "With a great central location right on the cable car line, this business-friendly hotel is relatively new, but feels as though it's been part of the landscape for years." Full review
Star Service "Located on the corner of Montgomery Street, this celebrated second-tier corporate house is in a 17-story circa-1926 former bank headquarters with a cable-car stop just outside the door." Full review
Gayot "This 1926 Florentine Renaissance-style landmark building boasts classic decor, ornate crown moldings and public areas dominated by excellent city views."
Zagat4.2
"From the "breathtaking" lobby to the "attentive", "efficient" service, this "lovely old" Downtowner – converted from a 1920s bank building to a "high-end" oasis."

The menu offers more than six different cuts of steak to choose from and delicious sides like skillet-fried potatoes with sautéed onions and peppercorn gravy, and wedge salad with blue cheese dressing and bacon.

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."
Oyster Luxury
"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
Zagat4.3
""If you like being spoiled", this "legendary" "San Francisco classic" atop Nob Hill thrills, from the lobby's "amazing old-time elegance", to the "superior" staff that makes you "feel like royalty"."
Time Out "High atop Nob Hill, the Fairmont is the grand dame of San Francisco hotels, listed on the National Register of Historic Places." Full review
