“This hotel is a real landmark. It has seen the likes of Tony Bennet sing in the Venetian Room - and it still has that same old-world grandeur. Enjoying spectacular views of the bay (especially good from the suites' terraces) and boasting a design that combines tradition and modern elegance.”

Fairmont San Francisco

A San Francisco landmark, this historic hotel occupies a coveted spot atop well-heeled Nob Hill, commanding impressive views of both city and bay. Comfort and service are what you’d expect of a Fairmont; the sunny rooftop garden and enjoyably tacky tiki bar are added perks.
