About The Fairmont San Francisco
A storied Nob Hill address where rooms and amenities reflect classic San Francisco.
The Fairmont San Francisco rises above the city from its Nob Hill perch, occupying a historic building long associated with San Francisco’s grand hotel tradition. Interiors emphasize scale and formality—high ceilings, expansive corridors, and public spaces designed for lingering rather than rushing through. Guest rooms vary in size and outlook, with some oriented toward skyline or bay views, others inward toward the quiet of the hilltop. Dining and lounge spaces are woven into the building’s daily rhythm, while the spa and fitness center offer a slower counterpoint to the city below. Cable cars pass just outside, making movement effortless without a car. Amenities and rooms are arranged to suit travelers who appreciate structure, service, and a sense of place rooted in the city’s past.
This property has 2 on-site restaurants: Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar, and Laurel Court Restaurant & BarTop Amenities

Pleasant Liked: Location (during daylight). Night time is scary to no fault of the hotel. Staff were kind and helpful. Disliked: The property is in desperate need of a renovation. The rooms and furniture are exceptionally old and no matter how many times they are cleaned it still feels dirty and doesn’t smell good. Extremely disappointed given the cost. For example, the bathtub was rusted. It felt like we just didn’t want to touch anything. If we didn’t spend so much per night I wouldn’t care to mention anything but we feel completely ripped off.
