Concierge "San Francisco's best hotel with a view, this Mandarin Oriental property occupies the top 11 floors of the city's third-tallest building."

For the best sightlines and more elbow room, request a corner location—these have bridge-to-bridge vistas.
DK Eyewitness "Particularly convenient for business travelers, Mandarin Oriental is first class in every respect."
Time Out "Few hotels in the world can boast such extraordinary views, or such decadent means of enjoying them, as the Mandarin Oriental." Full review

""On the top floors of a skyscraper", this "sophisticated" Downtown "standout" is "close to heaven", with "exquisite" quarters featuring "gorgeous" marble bathrooms."
Condé Nast Traveler "A total makeover of the first Mandarin Oriental property in the United States (opened in 1987), with 158 redesigned rooms and lobby, a brand-new spa, and a reimagined restaurant." Full review
Gayot "This hotel opened with a bang as the Mandarin Oriental in 1987, and today, as a Loews Regency, it continues to compete with its luxury counterparts in the area of distinction."
Star Service "The hotel's superlative contemporary design, reputable dining and soigne service are San Francisco treats." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Top-of-the-world views, and the rooms are ranked in price accordingly." Full review

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."
