The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco

The last word in luxury atop Nob Hill

The 336-room Ritz is housed in a landmark building on Nob Hill, next door to cable-car stops, and just a half-mile from Union Square.

The hotel features exceptionally large rooms, appointed with replica antiques, sumptuous featherbeds, and high-speed Internet access.

A museum-worthy art collection, a sunken-rooftop terrace restaurant, and a regal high tea are just a few of the highlights.
