Rough Guide "A delightful B&B-style inn... particularly popular with Brits looking for a taste of home."
Frommer's "From the moment you're buzzed into this well-secured inn, you'll know you're not in a generic bed-and-breakfast." Full review
Fodor's "A cozy library with a crackling fireplace is the heart of this inviting English-style B&B." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A small, country-style establishment, the White Swan has rooms with bright floral prints and comfortable beds."
Time Out "Essentially, California's version of an English B&B, and how you just reacted to that sentence will be pretty much how you react to the inn itself." Full review
Star Service "Thanks to its unbending B&B aesthetic, it continues to lure a repeat clientele despite its limited facilities. " Full review
Gayot "This intimate hotel boasts a traditional English country look with modern conveniences."

""Plenty of character" graces this "delightful", "quaint" Nob Hill boutique B&B – from the "old-fashioned Otis lift" to the "comfortable" rooms featuring "cozy" fireplaces."

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."

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
Oyster Kid-Friendly
"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."
