Concierge.com's insider take:
This Gothic hulk of a building is named after Mark Hopkins, the Central Pacific railroad co-founder whose mansion previously stood here. After being acquired in 1973 by the InterContinental hotel chain, it lost some of its character, and now attracts a buttoned-up business clientele. But nearly every room has a stunning view. Splurge on a Terrace Suite to enjoy the ultimate perch above the city and feel like a railroad tycoon. The Nob Hill Restaurant serves California cuisine, and the 19th floor houses the Top of the Mark, famous for its nearly 360-degree panorama. Although the bar is typically full of tourists, there's nothing quite like enjoying one of its 100 types of martinis while listening to live jazz and watching the sun set over Babylon by the Bay.
