“Quite simply the best”

TmanSydney_Australia

Sydney, Australia

Jun 27, 2008

1/2 found this review helpful

Quite simply the best. Few live up to the hype, the Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco does. We stayed two nights in May 2008. Firstly if you are uncomfortable paying the room rate at the R-C, SF then you shouldn’t stay there. No amount of service and fine surroundings will make you happy. However if you wishing to make your holiday pleasant... more

Dear TmanSydney_Australia, I hope you had a safe trip back to Australia. Thank you for including our hotel as the final destination for your most recent trip of the US --- that took you from Las Vegas and the Grand Canyons to Southern California and down to San Simeon, Carmel and then to the cool breeze of the Bay Area....

I took my son up for a a few days of sight seeing for his first visit to SF. We flew into Oakland and caught a taxi to the Ritz Carlton SF. It was great. Wonderfully convenient location. Nice clean rooms with some of the best beds I have ever encountered in a hotel. Modern facilities in the room and... more

“Awesome experience!”

Jun 25, 2008

My wife and I just returned from a 6 day stay at the Ritz-Carlton. This was our first trip to San Francisco, and as it was a reward through work for a sales contest, the hotel was booked/selected for us. That being said, the selection could not have been better. From the greeting at the entrance, to the very friendly,... more

Jun 24, 2008

This was our second stay at the Ritz in San Francisco. My husband and I travel to SF once a year for a tradeshow. San Francisco is our favorite city and we look forward to the trip all year, mostly because we love the Ritz so much. The service from the minute you arrive is perfect. The bellmen are professional,... more

“great breakfast”

Jun 22, 2008

Nice, elegant building, good location to the shopping streets. Large room, comfortable bathroom. The bed was too soft. Although I had big screen TV, no wide range of radio, TV channels, no DVD or CD library. Excellent breakfast, the berries were amazing! Service was average. Swimming pool was great, the gym part too. more

“Great anniversary getaway”

Anonymous03

Jun 1, 2008

I am not a Ritz Carlton cheerleader. During a previous stay the service was below par (very late turn downs, dishes in the hallway etc.) The Club Level was constantly crowded and was often short of food. What brought us back was the location, the atmosphere, and the gym/pool. The bonus was that the service this time was exceptional. Location:... more

“Perfection”

MrFocus

May 27, 2008

My girlfriend wanted to treat me to a "memorable, timeless" experience for my 40th birthday and the Ritz was all that and more. From the moment we checked in, we were able to observe the Ritz's industry-leading guest information system in action. The front desk knew it was my birthday, there was a custom-made CD playing in our suite with... more

“The club level is had to top!”

San Francisco

May 19, 2008

For the second year in a row we celebrated our wedding anniversary at the Ritz on the club level. On it's own the Ritz is an experience but the club level takes it to the next (pardon the pun) level. When I made the reservations I was asked and I told them we were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary and... more

My wife and I decided to stay here prior to boarding Crystal Cruises. We had read in USA Today about their wonderful beds. We knew this was to be our final hotel, as my wife had terminal bone cancer. Our experience here was magnificent. The bed was not to believed...it was literally sleeping on a cloud. The room service was... more
