Star Service "This hotel is positioned firmly in the convention category, relegated to middle management and midrange tourists clawing to experience what is now Nob Hill's skeletal luxury. " Full review
Zagat4.3
"It's an "absolute pleasure" to stay nestled "on top of Nob Hill" at this "classy" Renaissance boutique exuding "charm and elegance" for an "expensive" price that's "well worth" it."
Fodor's "The rooms, decorated in warm tones and furnished with handsome leather chairs and tasteful modern accessories, offer additional elegant touches like 300-thread-count Frette sheets." Full review
Gayot "Located on the Powell Street cable car line, this hotel projects an image of refined luxury."
The Telegraph7.0
