MANDARIN ORIENTAL SAN FRANCISCO

"Best view of San Francisco"

Our room was on the 40th floor. The view was truly amazing. The hustle and bustle in the lobby was very lively for business travelers and less ideal for a romantic getaway. The hotel was fully booked while we were there. Service was good, but it wasn't at the impeccable level we have come to expect from the Mandarin Oriental.

"Spectacular Views!"

My experience here over my birthday weekend was nothing less than exceptional! We were welcomed as soon as we arrived by the valet and doorman. Check in was a breeze and there was chilled Veuve Clicquot champagne, chocolate covered strawberries and a plate of desserts awaiting us in our room. We were also upgraded to the top floor panoramic signature suite, as well. The views from the signature suite were breathtaking. And yes, the Transamerica building, Coit Tower, Bay Bridge, Golden Gate and Alcatraz were all in the scenery! The manager even called our room to ensure that we were happy. Now that's what I call customer service. They even sent up a brewing pot of tea and cookies after we got settled in the room.Speaking of the rooms, they were clean, contemporary and well appointed. The beds were so comfy I literally fell asleep moments after I laid my head on the fluffy pillows. We enjoyed complimentary breakfast every morning and happy hour at the restaurant is quite impressive. What more could a guy ask for' I know, an extended stay, right'

"First Class in Downtown San Francisco"

I usually stay at one of the other "top end" hotels when visiting San Francsico but due to lack of availability I decided to stay at the Mandarin Oriental for the first time. From start to finish, this stay was an excellent experience. The room was very spacious and comfortable with great views towards the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz etc. The bed was certainly one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. The room was spotlessly clean and housekeeping were very efficinent and unobtrusive. My only issue (and a very small one) was the lack of a shaving mirror in the bathroom. The staff were first class and nothing was a problem for them (even down to booking a barber's appointment for me). Their service was at a level not often found in the major hotel chains any more. I had both breakfast and dinner in the restaurant and both were excellent. Despite the hotel being busy, breakfast was relaxed and leisurely (unlike in many US hotels). The menu for dinner was slightly restricted but I didn't have any issues finding something I'd like. It's not cheap, but the Mandarin Oriental certainly lived up to and exceeded expectations and I'll definitely be back the next time I visit San Francisco.

"Great stay in San Fran!"

We stayed at the 39th floor of the Mandarin Oriental and the views were breathtaking (when visible!) The hotel staff was very accommodating and very eager to make the best out of our stay. The menu at the restaurant/bar was quite limited, but the items I tried were delicious! Another great recommendation would be to get a massage at the hotel's spa. It was a divine experience, uber relaxing and the ladies were super attentive to detail. The drivers from the hotel's car service did a great job of showing us the iconic "touristy" spots throughout the city, as well as hidden gems. I highly suggest asking for Donald to drive you around!

"Excellent all the way"

Rooms start at the 38th floor, allowing each of them to have magnificent views overlooking the SF bay. Overall service was flawless, very attentive and anticipating your needs, We enjoyed the calming atmosphere of the room, being on a top floor you barely hear street noises. Our room was a king-size bed with bay views, and it was large with plenty of closet space, as well as a large bathroom. Binoculars and plenty of other nice details/amenities are part of the Mandarin Oriental experience. Highly recommend!
