Absolutely gorgeous old historic hotel right atop Nob Hill. The location is lovely, right across from Nob Hill Park and offering wonderful views of pretty much the whole city. We spent two nights here for our honeymoon and it was fantastic. Service is top-notch, extremely prompt and courteous but not obtrusive at all. While everything is far from affordable the value really isn't bad at all for what you're getting, which is a four and a half star experience. We also used the spa during our stay which was an unbelievable experience. The facility is absolutely gorgeous and our "aroma-soul experience" massage was life-affirming. We will definitely be returning to that spa as soon as we can save up for it, hopefully for the 1 year anniversary!

Stayed here for our wedding. This is an old hotel that has so much character and class. From the doorman ushering you in, to the front desk staff, this place is simply elegant and awesome. The room was huge and well appointed, with great views of the city below and bay in the distance. The bed was extremely comfortable. One thing that really surprised me, especially for such an old hotel, was that we were right next to the elevator and never heard it operate. The rooms were very quiet and well insulated from the noises. Being right next to the stairs, you could hear the laughter coming from the first floor, as it traveled up the stairwell. Even on the ninth floor, it sounded like the talk and laughter was coming from just around the corner. HOWEVER, the moment we entered our room and shut the door...silence. 😊 Love this place!

Loved the location on the park next to Grace Cathedral, as well as the historical nature of the hotel. The bar is just beautiful, and the staff was kind and helpful everywhere. The only negatives are in regards to the pool: it is not actually included for hotel guests -- it is an extra $40/day, and not available at all on weekends unless you book spa services over a certain price. Plus, there is no lap swimming allowed, which was a major disappointment. Otherwise, the stay was delightful and would have been five stars.
