Home Away from Home

Ann P (Redmond, Washington) on Nov 23, 2024

Arrived very early with no luggage (long story). Hotel had my room ready and stocked with every supply they could find (including sneakers from the Fairmont Fit... so I could walk to local shops to get what I still needed). Thanks to this excellent service, I was just fine until my luggage arrived and could happily enjoy beautiful SF and all the beauty of this historic property!

Top notch!

We had such a great stay here. We stayed in the tower and really enjoyed our room. The service was amazing - turn down service every night without even requesting. The bathroom had a bath tub and Le Labo products. The bed was very comfortable. It's also in a great location. We would definitely stay here again!

Fairmont SFO

It's a tiring climb to the top of the highest hill in town. But the view was worth it The hotel is very historical, there is a corridor introduction, many famous people

Mixed experience

Ulf C (Wettswil, Switzerland) on Nov 06, 2024

Fantastic views, but major irritant is the nickel-and-diming of guests, extra charges for internet as an example. Yes, Accor members have internet charges credited @checkout, but that also doesn't go well with $500 room pricing - and is not posted anywhere! Short-sighted.

Fairmont Tower rooms have incredible views

Vince K (Los Angeles, California) on Nov 01, 2024

After having grown up in San Francisco and watching the TV series "Hotel," I finally got a chance to stay at the world-famous Fairmont Hotel. We loved the view from our room in the Fairmont Tower - gorgeous views of the Bay and the Transamerica Pyramid. The beds were very comfortable and the room was spacious. The bathroom was also a good size, although it looked a little dated, with brown marble tile. The air conditioning worked well, which was important, since the windows do not open. Speaking of looking dated, the lobby and the Laurel Court restaurant could use some updating. The R-C down the hill is a bit more modern. And, I'm glad I had a package which included a complimentary breakfast for two (value $90) as the Laurel Court breakfast was VERY expensive. We used up the entire $90 with just a coffee, glass of orange juice, an order of eggs benedict (with ham, not salmon), and a Fairmont Classic breakfast (2 eggs, toast, sausage, breakfast potatoes), plus tax and tip.
