Located around a 20-minute stroll from Lafayette Heights, the renowned 5-star Fairmont San Francisco Hotel boasts quiet rooms with views of the bay. Centrally nestled near a boat dock, the luxury hotel overlooks Nob Hill and features a health club and a wellness area.

Location

The comfortable hotel in Bad Cannstatt with its famous Cannstatter Wasen is within a 2-km distance of the San Francisco cable cars and 2.1 km from such shopping venues as the Pier 39. The Fairmont San Francisco is also nearly a 10-minute ride from the Alcatraz Island and approximately 5 minutes on foot from San Francisco Bay.

The accommodation is located in the shopping area, near a mountain. This San Francisco hotel is in the vicinity of the neo-gothic Grace Cathedral, and Powell Street tube station lies only 0.9 km away.

Rooms

Offering views of Coit Tower, the rooms at Fairmont San Francisco Hotel feature an iPod dock and Wi-Fi as well as a minibar and coffee/tea making equipment to ensure a relaxing experience. The bedrooms come with double sofa beds and queen-size sofa beds. Private bathrooms include nice touches such as a hair dryer and bathrobes.

Eat & Drink

There are 2 restaurants in the property. Guests can relax at the on-site coffee bar. Offering American meals, Top of the Mark is situated about 5 minutes on foot from the Fairmont.

Leisure & Business

Fitness classes and spa therapy are offered at the hotel for an extra charge. Live performances and temporary art galleries are also available. Active guests will enjoy participating in walking tours. The Fairmont San Francisco, located within reach of the Chinatown, comes with a meeting room and a conference space featuring conference facilities and a work desk.

“Perched atop Nob Hill, this landmark holds a unique place in San Francisco's story, not least because the UN Charter was drafted within its walls; the honeybee tours signal a genuine commitment to sustainability, a touch that feels both relevant and rare. I'm particularly drawn to the Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar, a Polynesian escape that remains wonderfully out of step with modern trends; it's a space where history and pure escapism meet. Staying here means embracing a grand tradition with a refreshingly conscientious spirit.”
