Rough Guide
"This small, fifteen-room hotel has tiny but dramatic rooms featuring canopied beds and Art Deco-ish bathrooms, all done in rich, dark colours."
i
Columbus Ave can be noisy, so if you’re a light sleeper, ask for a room at the back.
Michelin Guide
"North Beach's strong Italian roots and beatnik past live together in perfect harmony at Hotel Boheme."
Frommer's
"Romance awaits at the intimate Hotel Bohème." Full review

Request a room off the street side, which is quieter.

"Smack dab in the heart of North Beach, San Francisco's Little Italy, the Hotel Bohème nods to the neighborhood's Beat era heyday."
Fodor's
"This small hotel in historic North Beach takes you back in time with cast-iron beds, large mirrored armoires, and memorabilia recalling the Beat generation." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"Although the guiding motif is the Beat era, this 15-room hotel feels more like a 1930’s pensione in Florence, only without the meals." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"The stylish and hip Boheme is a homage to the Beat Generation, in the heart of where it all began. Bold color schemes and whimsical touches enhance the hotel’s poetic vibe."

Gayot
"Rooms are sparse at the three-story Hotel Boheme, but, considering the property's name, that's the whole idea."
BlackBook

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."
