Luxury Hotel Guide for San Francisco

Visitors to the City by the Bay wanting to enjoy the life of luxury have quite a number of options available. Downtown San Francisco is home to several, all of which place you close to the best in area attractions and tours like a Culinary Walking Tour of Fisherman's Wharf. Luxury travelers will get to experience the best quality rooms, beds, amenities, and views of the incredible San Francisco Bay. Here is a brief overview of the area's highest class luxury hotels.

Ritz Carlton
If it all comes down to staying at the most lavish hotel in downtown San Francisco, then the Ritz Carlton should be your choice. The guest rooms have been painstakingly decorated in the most incredible sense. Comfortable beds and decorations are second only to the spectacular views from the guestroom windows. If seeing the bay from a window isn't enough, a 1 Hour Golden Gate Bay Cruise is just a few minutes away.

In fact, to say the beds are comfortable is missing the point. These are feather beds, with 300 thread count Egyptian cotton. Be sure to remember to spend an afternoon enjoying a fantastic cocktail in the lounge. You'll be entertained by a professional harpist until around dusk, when the Jazz trio takes over.

Nikko Union Square
For a more contemporary luxury hotel the Nikko Union Square should be a fantastic choice during any downtown San Francisco experience. From the on site Starbucks to the marble bathrooms, guests are sure to enjoy this entire hotel stay. A sundry shop is also off the hotel lobby, for guests who need anything from books to drug items.

Nikko has a remarkable indoor swimming pool and incredibly elegant rooms. It makes it incredible easy for a vacationer to relax after a long day of touring Fisherman's Wharf with a PIER 39 Attraction Pass for 3 Activities.

Argent Hotel
Beautiful views are only the beginning when it comes to the rooms at the luxurious Argent Hotel in the heart of San Francisco. Each room features elegant furniture with sleek color scheme that emphasizes quality over eye catching.  Guests also get the convenience of having a restaurant and lounge on site.

More than just a convenience, Jester's Lounge is quite possibly the most swank and sophisticated modern Jazz experience a guest can partake in. Plush couches, a warm fireplace, and original art.

Fairmont
From atop Nob Hill, guests of the Fairmont not only receive an excellent view of the sky skyline, but also elegant accommodations. Each of the 591 rooms are individually furnished from the ground up with marble baths, and even 14 foot vaulted ceilings in the Exterior rooms.
