"Superb, sprawling B&B set in two adjoining historic Victorians."
Fodor's
"Decked out in ornate poster beds, opulent Oriental rugs, and precious Victorian artifacts, guest quarters are everything from cozy... to spacious enough to fit a family." Full review
Lonely Planet
"The stately Inn San Francisco occupies an elegant 1872 Italianate-Victorian mansion, impeccably maintained and packed with period antiques." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"Set in an 1872 mansion, the 21-room property brims with authentic Victorian details... minus the chintz (not a weathered doily in sight)." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"The owner of this 1872 Victorian Mansion will charm you with hospitality. The spacious rooms are individually decorated in Victorian themes."
Time Out
"This friendly Italianate Victorian, built in 1872, invites you to sprawl about in its beautifully restored sitting rooms, rather than just admire them." Full review
BlackBook
"Victorian to the hilt. Beautifully preserved 1872 Italianate mansion, once a farm breeding champion racehorses and now the oldest existing hotel in town."

"There's a "romantic and relaxing" vibe to this "gorgeous" Victorian Mission mansion, as "honeymooners" cozy up in the "warm", "comfortable" quarters."

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."
