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

"This B&B-style hotel overlooking Washington Square has large, airy rooms decorated in modern shades of taupe and cream."
Frommer's "This small, comely, European-style bed-and-breakfast is ideal for older couples who prefer a quieter, more subdued environment than the commotion of downtown San Francisco." Full review
Fodor's "Overlooking the tree-lined park of its namesake and surrounded by fine shops and cafés, this gracious corner B&B sits at the foot of Telegraph Hill in the heart of North Beach." Full review
Lonely Planet "On leafy, sun-dappled Washington Square, this inn looks decidedly European and caters to the over-40 set." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of the few hotels in the North Beach area, this is the only one facing Washington Square Park, where you can watch people practicing Tai Chi or strolling around the park."
Time Out "Close to one of San Francisco's prettiest urban parks, in a quiet part of North Beach, this is a convivial little inn." Full review
Gayot "Europe meets the San Francisco Bay in this cozy bed-and-breakfast-style inn."
