"Restored with European charm, your home-away-from-home here comes with a featherbed and down comforter, a cozy robe and soft slippers, and a marble bath with a rain showerhead."

"Inside an iconic, 100-year-old columned Nob Hill landmark, the Ritz-Carlton is San Francisco's most formal luxury hotel."

Because of the building's historic status, hotel designers weren't allowed to make major structural alterations when the hotel opened in 1991, so each room is different in size and shape: Plan to spend time with the reservationist to choose the right one for you.

"Expensive hotels usually look it, but the Ritz-Carlton is off the charts. With its palatial, white-columned demeanor, it more closely resembles a city hall or a Greco-Roman monument." Full review

"Like an old-fashioned pensione, the Golden Gate has kindly owners and simple rooms with mismatched furniture." Full review
Gayot Gayot
"This 1913 Edwardian hotel near Union Square is full of century-old nostalgia, such as claw-foot tubs, a bird cage elevator and antique furniture."

"Hosts John and Renate run the friendliest hotel in town (more of a B&B really): a 4-story 1913 Edwardian charmer that’s bedecked with antiques, wicker and old photographs."
