Grande dame mansion-hotel and restaurant atop Nob Hill

 

Landmarks with a vista

 

Perched atop one of San Francisco’s “Seven Hills,” Fairmont San Francisco is a testament to the glory of the City by the Bay. Conveniently located at the only spot in town where all the cable car lines intersect, you can easily ride up those famously steep hills.

 

Chinatown, shops, bayside

 

You can hop a cable car to Fisherman’s Wharf to explore the waterside attractions and spot the sea lions at Pier 39. It's a 4-minute walk to Chinatown, where you can nosh on Dim Sum or bubble teas, and if you need retail therapy, head to Union Square.

 

Fine and festive dining

 

If you’re craving regional cuisine head to Laurel Court, or have a cocktail at the Pacific Rim-inspired Tonga Room and Hurricane Bar. Live music plays most nights at Laurel Court’s piano bar or you can catch the Tonga Room’s house band, The Island Groove. Onsite parking is available (surcharge).

 

Stately ambiance, comfort

 

The 592 guestrooms feature elegant designs along with premium bedding and furnishings to create the royal treatment feeling. All 62 suites offer spectacular views of the bay and the city, and some include a private balcony or terrace.
