Warning; They charge an extortionate Daily parking fee of $50 plus 14% tax so beware. Checking in slow but very friendly and with an exceptional lobby area. Rooms are as you would expect for a 5* hotel with the added luxury of what I can only describe as a sumptuous bed. On the negative side being an old building you... more

Fellow Travellers, Fairmont in San Fran was the last stop on our 5 hotel trip in California (1. Fairmont Miramar, 2. Inn of the Spanish Garden, 3. Intercontinental The Clement, 4. Napa Valley Lodge). First off, the Fairmont holds arguably one of the better locations in the city, right atop Nob Hill - great unless you have to walk up... more

Our room was huge and very nice. The view was great. The staff were very nice and treated us great! I was surprised how well kept the hotel was for its age. I would not hesitate to stay again. Great location too! more

First and foremost, we got an amazing deal via hotels.com for about $200 a night for a 800 sq ft, 2 room suite - THE LUXOUMBERG SUITE. I went to the Fairmont website to see what these rooms would have been if I booked direct and it was a whopping $550 a night. We were in the Main Building and... more

I travel frequently for work and find myself in hotels at least 75 nights out of the year. Fairmont hotels are supposed to be "breathtaking" and "top notch." While I can't really say too much bad about this hotel, I'll just say I don't think it would be worth the month for a regular rate. We received a corporate rate... more

We went to San Fran for the 2008 Labor Day Weekend. We stayed for 4 nights and wish we would could have stayed for 4 more. If you remember the 80's TV Show called "Hotel", this was the hotel it was filmed in and modeled after. This hotel lobby will take your breath away. I have stayed in many 5... more

I booked a 3 nights stay at the Fairmont, looking for an upscale 5 stars hotel. After my stay, some expections were met, others weren't. The Fairmont is a real 5 stars hotel in many things but some aspects let the expernece fall down. The building is nearly at the top of Nob Hill, offering wonderful sights on San Francisco.... more

I'm a local to the SF Bay area and have stayed here twice, both when family has come to visit and wanted to stay at a fancy hotel in the city proper. I've been in other upscale hotels (Mandarin Oriental, Pebble Beach, etc.) and I would say that this is on par with what you pay, although PB is overpriced... more

This hotel was absolutely beautiful and our room was gorgeous. I could live in the bathroom, it was huge! The bed was so comfortable. The one major problem was when we woke up in the morning we barely had and hot water, when I called the front desk they informed me that they were aware of the problem. After breakfast... more
