Rough Guide "Hushed, opulent landmark building... Stay here for snob value, above all."
Michelin Guide "Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who's the grandest of them all? Why, the Palace, of course. This grande dame proudly shows off her old-world refinement."
Frommer's "The original 1875 Palace was one of the world's largest and most luxurious hotels, and every time you walk through the doors here, you'll be reminded how incredibly majestic old luxury really is." Full review
Concierge "The Palace is San Francisco's most storied hotel."
Fodor's ""Majestic" is the word that best sums up this landmark hotel, which was the world's largest and most luxurious when it opened in 1875." Full review

Oyster Upscale
"Boasting ample turn-of-the-20th-century elegance and 550 rooms on only eight floors (dig these corridors), the Palace is aptly named." Full review

Rough Guide "Hotel Tomo is a youthful, anime-themed place decked out in neon-bright colours."
DK Eyewitness "A complete Japanese experience in the heart of Japantown."
Lonely Planet "The blond minimalist room furniture and fat-boy beanbags make it feel a bit like a college dorm, but it's great fun for families and anime nuts – if not high-heeled sophisticates."
Gayot "The Asian-influenced Buchanan celebrates San Francisco’s more eclectic side."

Travel + Leisure "Named after the Japanese word for “friend,” Hotel Tomo is a colorful, anime-themed boutique property located in Japantown." Full review
Wallpaper "San Francisco’s newest boutique hotel The Buchanan, draws décor inspirations from its Japantown location at the crossroads of the gritty Fillmore District and chic Pacific Heights." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The Buchanan’s 128 rooms are a study in wabi-sabi: Rough canvas drapes offset crisp white bed linens; pale marble-topped dressers contrast with bright, asymmetrical wall prints." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
