"Superb, sprawling B&B set in two adjoining historic Victorians."
Fodor's

Lonely Planet

Travel + Leisure
"Set in an 1872 mansion, the 21-room property brims with authentic Victorian details... minus the chintz (not a weathered doily in sight)." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"The owner of this 1872 Victorian Mansion will charm you with hospitality. The spacious rooms are individually decorated in Victorian themes."
Time Out
"This friendly Italianate Victorian, built in 1872, invites you to sprawl about in its beautifully restored sitting rooms, rather than just admire them." Full review

"Victorian to the hilt. Beautifully preserved 1872 Italianate mansion, once a farm breeding champion racehorses and now the oldest existing hotel in town."

DK Eyewitness
"Housed in what was originally a YMCA building, the Harbor Court is the only hotel in San Francisco with a location right on the waterfront."
Time Out
"On the Embarcadero waterfront, Harbor Court is something of an undiscovered treat." Full review
Star Service
"It is in a relatively off-the-map locale for tourists and despite the recent loss of Kimpton it remains a prize that resides blissfully beneath the radar for most out-of-towners. " Full review
Gayot
"This hotel is situated one block off the Embarcadero near the Bay Bridge, and therefore has one of the best bayside views the city can offer."
