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 Star
"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."
Oyster Mid-Range
"Located a bit far from tourist attractions, the hotel is for travelers seeking intimacy and historic charm." Full review
Not For Tourists "When you look at the old mansions in Pacific Heights, you can’t help but wonder if they might be haunted. Well they are. At least that’s what Jim Fassbinder, leader of San Francisco Ghost..."
EuroCheapo Editor's Pick
"This splurge-worthy three-star hotel may be over the top for some, but if you’re looking for a frilly and luxurious taste of history, it’s just the place for you." Full review
