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

Rough Guide "This raucous retro motel conversion features a mixed gay-straight clientele and has been a favourite with touring bands for years."

Ask for the “Headliner Suite”, which sports a separate living room.
Frommer's "If you'd like to tell your friends you stayed in the same hotel as David Bowie, Keanu Reeves, Moby, Franz Ferdinand, and Interpol, this is the place to go." Full review
Concierge "If you're looking for a romantic hideaway, the Phoenix is not for you. If you want to party like a rock star, you've found the place."
Fodor's "A magnet for the hip at heart and ultracool... the Phoenix isn't the best choice for those seeking peace and quiet." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This funky two-story motel, in the heart of the Tenderloin District, conjures up images of old Route 66."
Time Out "Add funky styling to affordable rates and parking for tour buses in a 'gritty' neighbourhood, then sit back and watch the hipsters roll in." Full review
Gayot "Situated on the edge of the Tenderloin, the Phoenix was once a 1950s cinderblock motel known for its Magic Fingers beds."
BlackBook "Retro ‘50s no-fuss tropical bungalows. Think Palm Springs on a foggy day."
Travel + Leisure "This historic motor lodge is infamous for housing dozens of rock star musicians over the last five decades." Full review
