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."

"Inside an iconic, 100-year-old columned Nob Hill landmark, the Ritz-Carlton is San Francisco's most formal luxury hotel."

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.

"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

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

Frommer's
"Our local hip-hotel company, Joie de Vivre, revamped every one of this 1929 Spanish Revival hotel's 171 large, bright guest rooms in gorgeous modern style." Full review
Fodor's

Time Out
"Now owned by Joie de Vivre, the Adagio has been in town in one incarnation or another since 1929." Full review
Star Service
"The Hotel Adagio is the first San Francisco hotel to join Marriott International's Autograph Collection, and its post-makeover character is notably glitzier than it was while an independent." Full review
Gayot
"Spanish Colonial Revival architecture provides a striking backdrop for this hotelâs modern style."
BlackBook
"Old-school ornate 1929 Spanish Colonial Revival built at dawn of the Depression. This one feels right from the second you walk in."
Lonely Planet
"Huge rooms and a snappy aesthetic set the Adagio apart." Full review
Afar Magazine
"Two blocks from Union Square, Hotel Adagio is a stylish retreat from the frenetic energy of downtown San Francisco." Full review
