As expected the rooms and the service are first class. The lobby area is surprisingly "normal" but I personally don't need a fancy lobby. Downtown location was convenient for my business trip. More

Concierge arranged all our activities and even got us tickets to a sold out showing @ de Young Museum. Good security measures from staff. I came in once after a run but forgot our room number. I was all sweaty at the front desk asking them to check the room # of my card key. They were courteous while at... More

This is one of a handful of exceptional view hotels in San Francisco. Taking up something like the 38-48th floors of a financial district skyscraper, there is water and city out every window. Right now the lobby is a shambles... a couple of people with small desks trying to keep up appearances as you walk through a temporary hallway. It... More

Stayed here for business last year .. mostly because I think the mandarin in HK is one of the best hotels in the world, but I was disappointed by the hotel in SF. First they couldn't find the booking, they didn't try hard to resolve it despite my obviously tiredness following a direct flight from London. I ordered room service... More

This is a strange hotel - the room rates are very expensive, which is fine if you're getting something. The decor is kind of tacky, it might be old. The lobby was undergoing renovations and management didn't set up heaters in the alternate lobby- somehow it was colder inside than outside. The hotel was freezing throughout. Our room was tiny...

I have just stayed for 3 nights at the Mandarin Oriental San Francisco. This was a very satisfying experience and one that I would recommend. We were upgraded to an executive corner room which the size of a small suite. The room decor and views in two directions over the bay were exquisite. The bed was heavenly! While this is... More

Excellent hotel! Unparalleled service. Ridiculous city views. Concierge desk phenomenal - we were able to have excellent restaurant and transportation experiences on NYE weekend. Despite all of the above, the hotel is a bit dated. They are undergoing a facelift early 2012 and I will be one of the first to check in when it's done! More

I cannot praise the hotel highly enough, my partner and I stayed over new year and had such an excellent time. It's so rare these days to find a hotel which combines fantasitc unobtrusive service with lovely rooms, great views and a convenient location. We both travel extensively for business (and pleasure!) and would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting... More
