As splendid now as when it opened to great fanfare in 1926, the InterContinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco is one of the city's finest historic hotels. Situated at the crest of illustrious Nob Hill, and at the crossing of three cable car lines, this venerable San Francisco landmark is minutes from Union Square, Chinatown, and the Financial and Theater Districts.

The Palace Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel in San Francisco, was built in 1875 and was reputedly the largest, most luxurious and costly hotel in the world. On October 2, 1875, the Palace Hotel officially opened to capture the hearts of the American public. The Palace Hotel quickly gained prominence among the traveling elite visiting San Francisco.

It is said that greatness springs from tragedy. For proof of this, look no further than San Francisco's Fairmont Hotel. The Beaux Arts-style property, designed by celebrated architect Julia Morgan (the genius behind the grandiose Hearst Castle), was about to open when its city suffered a devastating earthquake on April 18, 1906.

The Omni San Francisco provides luxury accommodations in the heart of downtown San Francisco - the jewel of California. This beautiful Nob Hill hotel is located right on the cable car line and is only a short walk to Union Square, the San Francisco neighborhood that has become a mecca for high-end shopping and art galleries.

This 1-3 bedroom, residential-style hotel is located in the heart of San Francisco's historic and upscale Ghirardelli Square. Guests are provided luxury amenities such as butler and chauffer service within two miles of the hotel. Accommodations include a gourmet kitchen, a living room with fireplace, and a dining area.

The first hotel to open in The Presidio of San Francisco, a National Historic Landmark, the Inn at the Presidio is an historic restoration of Pershing Hall, an Army Bachelors Quarters built in 1903, when the U.S. Army occupied the 1,491 acres to protect the country.

The Lodge at the Presidio sits on the Main Post of a historic National Park in San Francisco. The Lodge was built in the former Montgomery Street Barracks, a US Army artillery, infantry, and cavalry base, built 1895-1897 to protect that part of the California coast.

Cavallo Point in San Francisco is a statement of sustainable luxury and green living, and it is the home of the Institute at the Golden Gate, an environmental program of the National Parks Conservancy.

Opened in 1915, the Claremont Club & Spa has been affectionately nicknamed the "White Castle on the Hill" for over a century. Once the site of a palatial family estate, this Tudor Revival-style hotel overlooking the San Francisco Bay area has been fully restored to its former grandeur, making for a truly regal guest experience.
