Beautiful views of the city at historical, iconic Nob Hill hotel
The Intercontinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco opened in 1926 at the crest of Nob Hill and has been wowing visitors ever since. Visitors flock from all over the city to experience The Top of the Mark, a restaurant and lounge on the 19th floor of the hotel, which showcases breathtaking views of the entire city and bay. The lobby, with its ornate columns and marble accents, is a fitting welcome. Upstairs, rooms are intimate and modern in style and conveniences.
Highlights
- Dine at Top of the Mark restaurant for views of the city
- Located at the crest of Nob Hill
- Relax in restored lobby with touches from yesteryear

Each room comes standard with a flat-screen television, granite-countertop bathrooms, spacious work desks and plush bedding. Members of the property's Lobby Club receive complimentary room upgrades, late check-out and daily food and beverage presentations.

The real show-stopper at the Mark Hopkins is the Top of the Mark, a restaurant and lounge on the 19th floor. The hotel opened in 1926 and this eatery opened 13 years later, in 1939.

Great location
Great location! Cable car stops nearby. The Top of the Mark bar at the top of the hotel has a great view of the city. Close to Chinatown and the Ferry Building Marketplace that has a lot of great restaurants, especially The Slanted Door!

Nice hotel, great views
We paid $162 per night, which is a great deal for San Francisco. (Beware of those $110 to $130 SF hotels, research the location & read reviews before booking). Parking was expensive, about $58 per night. I'm not sure what the average price for overnight parking is in the area - you might be able to find a cheaper garage nearby. The hotel was nice: beautiful lobby, clean rooms. The view from The Top of the Mark is amazing. The waiters were a bit slow, but everyone was friendly.

Elegant
The InterContinental Mark Hopkins at Nob Hill is a stately, elegant hotel with great service, classic appointments, a "peak" location, and fantasticly comfortable beds. Some parts of the hotel are a little tired #I'm always a little grossed out by scarred woodwork that's been repainted over and over - but this IS an older hotel so it's really not indicative of anything untoward...# and I wish these folks would provide free wifi. On the other hand, the free coffee in the lobby in the morning is a nice perk.

Dining tip:
Short walk from hotel
For a fancy dinner nearby, try the Big Four for live piano. For something more casual, go to Nob Hill CafƩ. They're both walkable WITHOUT taking on 'the hill'.

Missed the mark
I expected an incredible hotel experience: A top-rated hotel built in 1926 and located in the perfect San Fran location. What I got was a small room, missing towels after the room was made up, and a mediocre desk staff. The best thing about the hotel was the location, and the best staff were the bellmen. Not worth the money, even at discounted website rates. The better chain hotels have much nicer rooms, and friendlier staff.

Perfect location, expensive add-ons
The location is perfect, and the rooms are reasonably priced. But everything else is priced out of proportion. $12.95 per day for WiFi access, $6.50 for a bottle of water in the room, holiday brunch for $85, etc.

Not good
I was in SF for work and rented a car while I was there. Parking here is the worse and really expensive. There we sever weddings happening and I think some kind of conference (a lot of people wearing lanyards with their names) so the valet were backed up and it took about 30 minutes to get my car. When I asked the concierge a really tall guy with a southern accent if I could park the car myself he looked at me like I was from Mars and said I suppose so just pull into the garageāI then asked where the garage was located and again with a snide look says California. The room was nice and comfortable with a great view except the water pressure in the shower was so week that I had to rinse my hair in the sink.
