Beautiful views of the city at historical, iconic Nob Hill hotel

The Intercontinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco opened in 1926 at the crest of Nob Hill and has been wowing visitors ever since. Visitors flock from all over the city to experience The Top of the Mark, a restaurant and lounge on the 19th floor of the hotel, which showcases breathtaking views of the entire city and bay. The lobby, with its ornate columns and marble accents, is a fitting welcome. Upstairs, rooms are intimate and modern in style and conveniences.

Highlights
  • Dine at Top of the Mark restaurant for views of the city
  • Located at the crest of Nob Hill
  • Relax in restored lobby with touches from yesteryear
Rooms

Accommodations -- 348 rooms and 32 suites -- have crown moldings and other subtle touches that capture the authentic turn-of-the-century feel, yet the rooms boast modern conveniences. Each room comes standard with a flat-screen television, granite-countertop bathrooms, spacious work desks and plush bedding. Members of the property's Lobby Club receive complimentary room upgrades, late check-out and daily food and beverage presentations. Wi-Fi and high-speed Internet access are available in all rooms (fees apply).

Features

The hotel has received numerous awards, including the AAA Four-Diamond Award. It was named for Mark Hopkins, a founder of the Central Pacific Railroad, on whose land the hotel was built.

The property offers complimentary 24-hour access to cardio and free-weight machines in its on-site fitness center, as well as complimentary town car service into the Financial District on weekday mornings.

The real show-stopper at the Mark Hopkins is the Top of the Mark, a restaurant and lounge on the 19th floor. The hotel opened in 1926 and this eatery opened 13 years later, in 1939. Since then it has been a favorite spot for many of San Francisco's rich and famous. The menu is eclectic; a drink list boasts 100 different martinis.

Well worth it

Great experience at this hotel. Lovely lobby; professional, friendly, and accomodating staff; free apples at the front desk. Enjoyed the lounge on the top floor; romantic and great view of SF. Room very large, clean and comfortable for two with great view of downtown SF. Not too bad of a walk to Chinatown, Financial District, and Fisherman's Wharf (I walked to all three and back). Price for overnight parking quite steep (eek!). Would come back.

Exceptional Weekend

Our stay at the Mark Hopkins was very pleasant indeed. The staff was friendly and resourceful, and you can't beat the view from the Top of the Mark. The room was spacious and well appointed. The location of the hotel was ideal, being near to all the activities we wished to engage in. One day we drove to Rohnert Park to attend a graduation event, and connect with family. The parking staff at the hotel was efficient in retrieving our vehicle and parking it when we returned at the end of the day.

Still Top o' the Mark!

Still an exceptional experience. I had an issue with feather bedding and it was resolved quickly and in a friendly fashion. Corner room looking out over the beautiful San Francisco landscape was delightful. Not particularily convenient to BART but a quick cab ride or trip on the cable car connects one with everything.

First Class hotel

Staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, courteous and accommodating. I needed a car charger for my mobile phone which the car hire company had forgotten to give me. Housekeeping and Conscierge went out of their way to get me one and Conscierge even arrange for one of the drivers to take me to a phone shop and back to ensure that I got the correct one for my mobile. Dinner for room service was very appetising and breakfast the following morning was plenty and refreshing and healthy :o) I am very pleased that I chose this hotel for my overnight stay to travel onwards another 4 hours. Thank you.

Feb. Vacation!

Traveled with my three sons, ages 10, 11 and 16 for Feb. vacation. I had one room and the three of them were across the hall in a room with a cot. The cot was nicely made up and housekeeping was very friendly considering... The hotel is beautiful as always and the staff is great. However, be aware that there is no "little store" in the lobby for incidentals and Walgreens is a trek d-o-w-n 3 very steep blocks. That is the only downfall I encountered with this wonderful hotel.
