Fairmont San Francisco Review

Fairmont San Francisco
$$$$, Nob Hill
Fodor's Review:
This hotel, which commands the top of Nob Hill like a European palace, has a rich history that includes surviving the 1906 earthquake and hosting the signing of the United Nations Charter in 1945. Architect Julia Morgan's 1907 lobby design includes alabaster walls and gilt-embellished ceilings supported by Corinthian columns. Gracious rooms, done in pale color schemes, have high ceilings, fine dark-wood furniture, colorful Chinese porcelain lamps, and marble bathrooms. Rooms in the Tower are generally larger and have better views. An array of amenities and services (including free chicken soup if you're under the weather) keeps loyal guests coming back.

Renovated Hotel - Now Renovate the Service!
Posted by Perigrinator from Everywhere... on 12/20/06
Don't go here! While the hotel has been renovated and is absolutely beautiful in places, the service is dismal. My room was actually a charming old suite but I gave everything a low rating as I do not want to encourage anyone to stay at the SF Fairmont - that would be a tragedy. From management to the concierge, the service never got above a minus 5 on a scale of 1-10... I am a long time Fairmont customer and plan to never stay at the SF Fairmont again. I think, however, that the service is localized to the SF Fairmont as the other Fairmont Hotels at which I have stayed still retain fairly consistent service (if not stellar).
