Perched on Nob Hill at 950 Mason Street, the Fairmont San Francisco commands sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge, and the San Francisco Bay from its historic 1907 landmark building.
Floor-to-ceiling windows and elevated terraces frame the city's dramatic topography, while the hotel's commanding position above downtown creates an unobstructed vista of the urban landscape and water beyond.
Couples exchange vows against this urban panorama, with the city lights as their backdrop.
Had a great stay here with fantastic views. Recommend the tower rooms. Take time to wander and read about the history of the place. Reminds me of grove park in Asheville. Emmanuel at the front desk is top notch and went out of his way to make sure we felt welcomed after a long travel day.
