Rough Guide "The place to stay if you win the lottery (or someone else is paying), this ultra-luxe hotel on Market St affords spectacular views across the city. Its plush rooms are the ultimate indulgence."
Michelin Guide "Nobody does modern luxury quite like this straight-away winner."
Concierge "The superluxurious Four Seasons San Francisco is a sanctuary so serene it's hard to believe it's in the heart of downtown."
i
Though the understated greige decor successfully straddles the line between contemporary and traditional, with clean lines and zero clutter, it lacks color and splash: If you like fringe and chintz, choose the Ritz-Carlton instead.
Fodor's "This exclusive, award-winning hotel is sandwiched between multimillion-dollar condos, elite shops, and a premier sports-and-fitness complex." Full review
Lonely Planet "The Four Seasons is huge, confident and very corporate, and one of San Francisco's best posh hotels." Full review
Oyster Kid-Friendly
"The Four Seasons' huge, well-outfitted rooms and attentive service are among the city's best, but the 277-room property falls a bit short of expectations." Full review
Travel + Leisure "A head-to-toe renovation in 2009 perked up this plush high-rise; rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, black granite credenzas, and Eames chairs. ." Full review
Star Service "Situated between Third and Fourth streets, adjacent to the Jewish Museum, in a dynamic neighborhood racing with activity, adjacent to the Financial District, Union Square shopping." Full review
Gayot "This luxury hotel facing Market Street in the Financial District towers over the city. Superior facilities immerse guests in contemporary elegance and refined details."
BlackBook "Tastefully modern halls of muted beige and blue tones, exotic African woods. Hushed, intimate feel of fifth-floor lobby offers womblike retreat from the clatter of Market Street."

Michelin Guide "Restored with European charm, your home-away-from-home here comes with a featherbed and down comforter, a cozy robe and soft slippers, and a marble bath with a rain showerhead."
Concierge "Inside an iconic, 100-year-old columned Nob Hill landmark, the Ritz-Carlton is San Francisco's most formal luxury hotel."
i
Because of the building's historic status, hotel designers weren't allowed to make major structural alterations when the hotel opened in 1991, so each room is different in size and shape: Plan to spend time with the reservationist to choose the right one for you.
Fodor's "A stunning tribute to beauty and attentive, professional service." Full review
Lonely Planet "Expensive hotels usually look it, but the Ritz-Carlton is off the charts. With its palatial, white-columned demeanor, it more closely resembles a city hall or a Greco-Roman monument." Full review

"Everything you'd expect from a Ritz... all in the ritziest of San Francisco neighborhoods." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Fresh from a makeover (good-bye chintz, hello earth-toned geometric patterns), today’s Ritz, near Nob Hill, still has doting service." Full review
DK Eyewitness "It is housed in an historic Beaux Arts building in an entire block along California Street, near the top of Nob Hill."
Time Out "The Ritz-Carlton has been the de facto choice for dignitaries and heads of state for years." Full review
Star Service "This hotel may be located one steep block down from the crest of Nob Hill, but thanks to the confusion and cost-cutting going on up there it is currently the best on the hill." Full review
Gayot "This stately and majestic property was built in 1909 and occupies a full square block."
