The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco occupies a neoclassical landmark on Nob Hill, originally designed in 1909 by the New York firm Napoleon Le Brun and Sons and granted landmark status before reopening as a hotel in 1991. Its columned facade and grand interiors make it one of the most architecturally significant hotels in the city.
The property remains San Francisco's only AAA Five-Diamond hotel, a distinction it has held through the city's shifting fortunes. Set atop one of San Francisco's most storied hills, it places guests within reach of Union Square, the cable cars, and the restaurants of the surrounding neighborhoods.
Nob Hill has been synonymous with San Francisco luxury since the era of the railroad barons, and the Ritz-Carlton carries that legacy forward. Its combination of landmark architecture and top-tier service keeps it at the summit of the city's hotels.
