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."

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."

Rough Guide "Its rooms are a tech-lover’s dream – each is equipped with a 42-inch LCD TV with a plug-in panel, Bose sound system, ergonomic office chair, and wireless internet."
Fodor's "The hotel features a state-of-the-art fitness room and technologically savvy meeting rooms." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The public areas are glamorous, and the bedrooms refined and elegant. Business travelers will find the staff extremely helpful."
Time Out "Rebranded in 2006, the former Pan Pacific hotel is far enough from Union Square that guests can avoid the crush, but close enough that the shops are mere steps away." Full review
Star Service "At the corner of Mason Street, one block west of Union Square, and six blocks shy of the Bank America Center and the Financial District, this...is in an excellent location for business and pleasure." Full review
Gayot "Despite its size (21 stories and 329 rooms in all), the JW Marriott San Francisco has a decidedly intimate atmosphere amid the bustle of Union Square."

""Far above par", this Downtown "luxury" chain outpost "delights", from the bright "soaring" lobby to the "comfortable" quarters."
Forbes Travel Guide Recommended
"JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square is a colorful and urbane hotel just steps from San Francisco’s bustling Union Square, the Financial District and the Embarcadero." Full review
Jetsetter "A casual, tranquil vibe above the hubbub of downtown (an impressive feat in a 337-room hotel), and a staff quick to anticipate your every need." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The hotel tends to attract a strong following of business travelers, but the great bathrooms and amenities, as well as proximity to Union Square, would appeal to travelers of all stripes." Full review
