Rough Guide
"The most famous of Nob Hill’s landmark hotels... fantastic views from the rooms."
Michelin Guide
"This queen of the city retains a traditional charm."
Concierge
"Rooms... in the original building have high ceilings and a rich sense of place, but not all have views; rooms in the vintage-1961 tower have jaw-dropping vistas yet feel more generic."
Fodor's
"Amenities and special services (including... a newly crafted Intersect Media Lounge complete with multiplayer Guitar Hero and Wii Golf) keep loyal guests coming back."

"A small, country-style establishment, the White Swan has rooms with bright floral prints and comfortable beds."
Time Out
"Essentially, California's version of an English B&B, and how you just reacted to that sentence will be pretty much how you react to the inn itself."
