Hotel was just amazing! We upgraded our rooms to the newer part of the building (The tower rooms) explained to the front desk clerk that this was my first visit to san fran and would love a view. OMG he gave me a room with full bay views...the views were breathtaking! The hotel as a whole is just beautiful, so much history! This is an older hotel, so dont expect clean modern design...it is grand extravagant and just wonderful. The hotel is near everything! word to the wise the hills are beastly near by...bring good walking shoes! The staff was so helpful. Visit the Tonga Room if you get the chance! it is so wonderfully over the top tacky...complete with indoor thunderstorms a band on a boat and huge drinks in pineapples!!! I had a blast there! i would stay at The Fairmont again in a heartbeat!
