Concierge.com's insider take:
Inside an iconic, 100-year-old columned Nob Hill landmark, the Ritz-Carlton is San Francisco's most formal luxury hotel. Polished marble floors, Oriental carpets, and crystal chandeliers greet your arrival, and Victorian-era oil paintings make the lobby feel more like a museum than a hotel. Because of the building's historic status, hotel designers weren't allowed to make major structural alterations when the hotel opened in 1991, so each room is different in size and shape: Plan to spend time with the reservationist to choose the right one for you. The traditional decor marries walnut, mahogany, and rosewood; beds are dressed with Egyptian cotton sheets and tasseled silk throw pillows. But more than anything, it's service that sets the Ritz-Carlton apart—prompt and courteous, personable and never presumptuous, with your every need anticipated. The Dining Room, helmed by celeb chef Ron Siegel, serves dynamic Japanese-influenced French cuisine worthy of a splurge. The Lobby Lounge draws gray-at-the-temples CEOs and society matrons for evening cocktails.—John Vlahides
