Grand-style hotel with modern Tower Wing, commanding excellent bay and skyline views.
Perched atop the city's famed Nob Hill lives the iconic Fairmont San Francisco. The 591-room centenarian is immediately recognizable for its ornate terra-cotta façade and opulent grand lobby, with vaulted ceilings, Corinthian columns and jaw-dropping spiral staircase befitting a fairytale princess. Along with its impeccable environs, which underwent a major renovation a couple of years ago, socialites to suit-and-tie execs return frequently for the flawless service and superb location that feels secluded but is just minutes to Union Square, Fisherman's Wharf and downtown. (All the city's cable-car lines meet directly in front of the hotel's entrance.) Rooms and suites are large and filled with an array of luxe amenities, from goose-down pillows to twice-daily turndown service, high-speed Internet and in-room refreshments. Ooh-inspiring views of the city from the hotel's 24th floor and rooftop garden are magical. Yes, the Fairmont may be pricey. But in our opinion, this iconic hotel is worth every pretty penny—especially for special occasions. Not to be missed: an ornate cocktail (Mai Tai, anyone?) at local favorite Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar, a kitschy Asian-inspired lounge with tropical rainfall.
