"The only budget hotel in the area, San Remo is a well-maintained Italianate building, and one of the first to be constructed following the earthquake and fire of 1906."

"While charming, the San Remo's Victorian style -- with shared bathrooms, narrow hallways, and no elevator or air-conditioning -- is not for everyone." Full review
Time Out Time Out
"Although the rooms are on the small side and the spotless shower rooms are shared (there's also one bath), you would be hard-pressed to find a finer hotel in San Francisco at this price." Full review

"A stunning tribute to beauty and attentive, professional service." Full review

"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

Gayot Gayot
"This stately and majestic property was built in 1909 and occupies a full square block."
