We stayed at the Fairmont for four nights as part of our honeymoon and had a fantastic time. The Fairmont is a fab hotel, historic, beautiful decor, great food and great location. It has all of these without being pretentious. The staff there are exteremely helpful and professional and add to the lovely atmosphere of the hotel. A tip for... more

Superb, characterful hotel - old, but refurbished in style. I agree with other comments that the lobby is stunning but this is not continued throughout. The room was very good with huge, comfortable bed, desk and a couple of armchairs. Bathroom was very nice but small. Soundproofing was definitely a problem - both out to the hallway and between rooms.... more

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
