Beautiful luxury on Nobb Hill
From the moment we first walked through the front doors my husband and I were wowed by this gorgeous hotel. The lobby was grand with its soaring ceiling heights and mable columns, comfortable with numerous seating clusters, and a great place to catch your breath if you've just scaled Nobb Hill! The staff were very friendly and helpful which I find is the standard when it comes to the Fairmont chain of hotels.
The room was beautiful and clean and the bed and bedding were wonderfully comfortable. We had a nice view of the city and water from our huge picture windows. The bathroom was also clean, functional and beautiful.
While we were staying at this hotel we had a dinner at The Tonga Room which is located on the lower floor of the Fairmont. An enjoyable evening was spent in this polynesian inspired tiki bar and restaurant. We made reservations in advance on their website for Sunday night. Be sure to check out the website for opening times because The Tonga Room is not open every night of the week and the live band is also there only on certain nights.
The hotel is located on Nobb Hill so, it is centrally located but, it is quite a trek up to it from any of the sights around San Francisco. Luckily, if you don't feel up to the hike, you can catch a cable car up, or down, from one of the two cable car lines that passes by the front of the hotel. And, they run late which is a bonus. Opt for an all day pass if you expect to ride the cable cars more than twice a day.
Overall, I was extremely pleased with my stay at The Fairmont San Francisco and would definitely recommend it to friends.
