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.

Komen 2010 weekend
This hotel is beautiful and the staff could not have been nicer. They are wonderful with children staying at the hotel. Gave our son a goodie backpack and milk with cookies after we checked in. Unfortunately we paid extra for two double beds and it was not available once we checked in. For the amount of money we spent it was a bit disappointing. One king size bed and a fold out couch didn't cut it.

Great Hotel
We stayed at this hotel for New Year's Eve. It was within close walking distance to the Ferry Building, so that was a plus. The room was a little small for 4 people, but it worked out alright. Can't really beat the location and the staff was very helpful and accommodating.

In Hotel
The hotel bar/restaurant is very pricey. We spent $120 for 4 plates of appetizers which were just okay and one round of drinks. A better plan would be to head down the street to the Tadich Grill.

Incredible Service
The staff here is incredibly friendly and helpful. My room was impeccably clean and simple nuances like having the front door opened for me when I left or came back was really the icing on the cake. It sits at the bottom of Nob Hill kind of off the main drag and for that I was eternally grateful. Nothing worse than not being able to get a drink at your hotel's bar after a long day of meetings.

It's a short walk to the cable car. Hop on and head towards Fisherman's Wharf for an all-you-can chose from deep fried seafood extravaganza and incredible views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz.

Well Worth a Stay
This is a hotel that makes you feel pampered, but with not a smidgen of snooty attitude. As the doorman said, while helping us maneuver our suitcases to check in, "I'm here to help you." He really meant it. There seems to be a culture of service and "we're here to make your stay enjoyable" that is visible not only with the doorman, but with the people behind the counter, the extremely helpful concierge, the room service people who couldn't do enough for you and the waitress in the restaurant. The hotel is well-situated - just a few blocks from the Ferry Station market, the transportation that will get you to Fisherman's Wharf, and the Embarcadero financial district.

Slightly old fashioned, great staff
The Omni is well located for the Ferry building, Union Square, Chinatown and Market Street. The financial district is relatively quiet after office hours, many of the local coffee houses do not open at the weekends. There are some nice restaurants close by just a block away, some great places at the Ferry building plus of course the Chinese restaurants in Chinatown. The cable car line runs directly outside the hotel but unfortunately it was under construction during our visit so wasn't running and it felt quite disappointing not to have that experience, I'm sure it's a lovely sight and really handy to go up to nob hill which otherwise is a very steep climb up the hill from the hotel! Generally the hotel was well located for us but if you're looking to spend more evening time in union square or at Fishermans wharf there are likely to be better located hotels for you. The Omni is a pleasant hotel. The decor is not modern, more traditional than I was anticipating and the signature room wasn't as impressive as I had expected it to be. The bathroom was small and the carpet in the main room was fairly tired. It wasn't bad but just didn't feel like a luxury experience. The staff at the hotel were very helpful and friendly, the concierge [...]was exceptional and recommended all the restaurants we went to which were great. Wireless was available without charge by registering for the loyalty scheme. Complimentary water would have been appreciated, especially with the signature room but wasn't provided. Other luxury hotels on our trip made water freely available and made a real difference to us. There was iced tea available in the reception area if that's something you enjoy. Overall, well located, friendly staff but slightly disappointing rooms.

A great place to stay!
The staff at the Omni was exceptional. They made us feel immediately welcome. They had a recommendation or two whenever we asked for things to see or places to eat. The Omni is pretty grand, but there was no snootiness whatsoever--even when we walked into marble tiled lobby soaking wet and wearing cheap plastic rain ponchos. The rooms and amenities are pretty typical of a quality hotel. The staff upgraded our room at no additional charge so we ended up with a nice view overlooking Chinatown and North Beach all the way to the Golden Gate. Ultimately it is always the staff that makes a hotel great and this proved to be the case at the Omni.

We had an excellent dinner at Cafe Maria, just off Washington Square. The Caprese Salad is "to die for." It's a pleasant 15 min walk from the Omni and the prices are very reasonable for such quality dining. Eat breakfast at one of the many excellent cafes on Columbus Street.

San Fran vacation
This was our first stay at an Omni Hotel but it won't be our last. From the moment we arrived until we left we were treated royally. Decor is from another time period but is fresh and clean. We would have liked a small fridge in the room but that was all. Everything was spotlessly clean. Our only complaint: we didn't get "sweet dreams" candy every night!
