The Rates at The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco

"A museum-quality collection of 18th- and 19th-century antiques and artwork decorates the public areas"

"They are expensive indeed, but they do offer plenty of enticements, including Continental breakfast, afternoon tea, cocktails and nibbles on an ongoing basis"

"Expensive hotels usually look it, but the Ritz-Carlton is off the charts"

"“Expensive but totally worth the money” rave fans of this “luxurious” Downtown property offering “fantastic”, “well-appointed” digs outfitted with Asian- and European-influenced furnishings, marble bathrooms, Frette linens and flat-screen TVs in an environment that oozes “Old-World elegance”; “exemplary” staffers “set the benchmark for service” (“no request is too great”), and a “fantastic” club level, full-service spa and on-site restaurant serving California cuisine round out the package"
