Jewel in San Francisco's crown

This award-winning hotel is in a magnificent 1909 building complete with classical portico and columns, and recently completed a comprehensive $12.5 million USD refurbishment. The Dining Room serves French cuisine with Japanese inspiration, and reservations are highly recommended, while the Lobby Lounge makes a mean Bloody Mary to go with its oysters. Burn off some calories in the spectacular fitness center or enjoy a massage in the spa (fees apply).
3 Reasons to Stay :
- True 5-star luxury in landmark San Francisco building
- Top class dining in acclaimed restaurant from chef Ron Siegel
- Superb spa and fitness center in award-winning setting

It is lucky to have the discount price to stay at this luxury hotel. Everything is great except the poor ventilation in the room. The smelt is not so good.

Lovely Hotel
The SF Ritz is in a beautiful white building in a great location. Easy to get to Union Square, ride the cable car or get to restaurants. The service was excellent - attentive, thoughtful and classy. We upgraded to their Club level on the 8th floor and it was well worth it! The abundance of free food was great for my kids.

The Slanted Door was a delicious Vietnamese restaurant in the Ferry Building at the water. Hip, casual and a lively place to stroll around before or after dinner

Upscale and up the hill
We arrived late to the hotel and no one was waiting at the front desk at check-in - not like other RCs I have stayed in where people seem to be falling over themselves to help you out. It meets expectations that have come to be associated with the Ritz such as quiet, comfortable rooms with luxurious bedding, but the staff was not as exceptional as the other RCs where I have stayed. I would definitely go back though. The Ritz brand has set the standard for excellence in the hotel business and no one else really seems to be matching that right now.

But any walks from the hotel are likely to be downhill with a serious incline to make it back.

Travelers from Greenwich, CT
Used to be much better
Few days in San Francisco after a cruise. The hotel room was reasonably priced, but the facilities are outdated and the charge for the services out of proportion. They charged $ 75 per day to park my rental car, and $ 100 for a mediocre brekfast for 3. Likely I will not consider this alternative in the future

Ritz review
Good: The hotel provided a car + driver for us when we could not get a taxi to a restaurant in the rain. Friendly staff. Bad: Breakfast food good in lovely room, but super expensive. Hot water had rust in it at first.
