Fairmont San Francisco Hôtel

Although we live in San Francisco and have a beautiful place, I've spent many evenings at this grand hotel with my husband just to feel like a tourist and get pampered. This gem of a hotel sits on top of eclectic Nob Hill where there is plenty of public transport including the charming signature cable car that transports you up and down the hill to more expansive transport hubs lower down in the city. Cabs and Uber cars are easily obtained. Our family visits each year for Christmas to view their home made ginger bread house with real cookies and candies. It is magnificent showcased and I believe almost two floors in height.

The hotel Fairmont San Francisco is situated in a central location that allows me to visit the city by foot to nearby Chinatown and easily accessible to the city's tram system (but a few verticals hills are expected to be conquered). The hotel entrance has the sense of history to it yet the rooms at the East wing is of newly decorated and very spacious. My room in the east wing on level 4 also has a great view of the city skyline which was surprisingly beautiful (photo attached). I did not get to use the hotel facilities much due to the busy city tours but throughout my stays at Fairmont, the entire experience was very pleasant and enjoyable. Staffs were very friendly and helpful, including the free parking available that came with my room. The floor below the ground level at the hotel displays several historical photos of the stories of the hotel, the rich and the famous and the parties the hotel has hosted over years, and the walk through the wing was a great reminder of the luxurious history of the Fairmont Hotel San Francisco. It's worth the visit even if you are just walking by. I highly recommend this hotel. Thank you so much.

The rooms are large and private with comfortable beds and one of the nicest indoor--outdoor showers. Private and quiet yet still a comfortable walk to the beach, pools, spa and restaurants. Bikes are available to cruise the grounds as are trams to speed you to the beach and pools. One of the nice surprises was the ability to visit the other four hotels in this complex for drinks and dinner. The Fairmont has driver service (a short five minutes) so you can enjoy the cuisine at the adjacent hotels and not have to sweat the details, you can even charge to your room at the other hotels.
