Historic Nob Hill hotel blends old and new with top-notch steakhouse

The past is new again at this circa-1926 hotel atop Nob Hill. Originally built as a bank, the property features classic stonework, stained glass and decorative touches. The lobby is adorned with Italian marble, rich fabrics and Austrian crystal chandeliers. Guestrooms mirror this classic elegance. The hotel is within walking distance of the city's storied cable cars. Bob's Steak & Chop House, the on-site restaurant, has established itself as one of the best steakhouses in the entire city. The property also offers complimentary guided walking tours once a week.

Highlights
  • Florentine Renaissance architecture
  • Walking distance to the Financial District, Union Square and North Beach
  • Succulent steak at Bob's Steak & Chop House
  • Complimentary guided walking tours
Rooms

Accommodations (362 rooms, including 20 suites) feature high ceilings and crown molding -- common design elements from the 1920s. Rooms also come standard with flat-screen televisions, plush down comforters, marble bathrooms and robes. Special GetFit guest rooms also feature treadmills and other exercise equipment. One of the suites, the Kid Fantasy Suite, includes a room of bunk beds, bean-bag chairs and games. Wi-Fi and high-speed Internet access are available in all rooms (fees apply). Pets welcome (fees apply).

Features

The hotel has received numerous awards, including the AAA Four Diamond Award.

Technically, the property has existed since 1926, though it served as a bank until the 1980s. To put this history into context for guests, third-party guides lead complimentary walking tours around the property and surrounding neighborhoods. The hotel also provides family-specific walking tours, geared toward visitors with young kids.

All guests receive complimentary access to a huge fitness center with state-of-the-art exercise equipment. The hotel also provides shuttle service to Harding Park and Presidio Golf Course, the two closest greens (fees apply).

Enjoy a meal at Bob's Steak & Chop House, which specializes in corn-fed Midwestern prime beef but offers a variety of fish and vegetarian selections as well.

Valet and self parking are available (fees apply).

A Wonderful Hotel--Except for the Parking!

This hotel is close to the Financial District and to Chinatown. The check-in and check-out staff is helpful, offering map directions to restaurants and how to get back to the freeway. The room was spacious and clean, although with a limited view. The amenities were good in the room (snacks to buy, q-tips, etc.) The beds were comfortable, the room mostly quiet, and the valet service good. The temperature wasn't easily adjustable, but there was plenty of hot water. The price of parking was too high ($60/24 hrs.!) Get there by bus, BART, a friend's car, or shuttle. Just don't drive there!

Great Weekend Getaway

The Omni was within walking distance to so many locations. The rooms were very nice and the service was very warm and friendly. The hotel was 100% booked so our rooms weren't available until 4:00 but aside from that our stay was wonderful.

Wonderful romantic getaway

Everyone was very helpful and friendly. The room was great and the room service even better. Bob's steak house was excellent! The cable car passes right in front on California St. The hotel is very close to all the top spots to see in San Francisco. We will be back for sure and plan to stay at other Omni Hotels and Resorts.

A charming, traditional hotel

Being right on the California cable car line, this hotel exudes the quintessential San Francisco experience. It is convenient to many fine restaurants, Union Square, The Farmers Market, China Town, and North Beach.

relaxing

Unfortunately, it was a very short stay and not much time spent in the hotel. We arrived early and were going to check our bags but our room was ready. It was so nice to be able to check in early and start our sightseeing. The room was lovely. The bed amazingly comfortable with luxe linens. My favorite was the robe. I wish I could have lounged longer. The only thing that would have been better was the view.

Upscale vacation at reasonable prices

A classy hotel with friendly (not at all snooty) and helpful staff. The location was perfect, although it's very hard to get around San Francisco. The rooms had turn-down service and fluffy bathrobes, and they were very quiet in the heart of the city. The beds were amazingly comfortable. A delightful experience!

Walk to Chinatown. Take a quick walk or cable car ride to Union Square. Take cable car rides to Fisherman's Wharf. Buy a city pass for best transportation value, and find a bus schedule online before you go.
