For a five-star

Ritz Carlton San Francisco is a grand five star set in a neoclassical building, which having undergone a full refurb, effortlessly blends the old and the new. An acclaimed restaurant is headed by a Michelin-starred chef and the bar turns out some very good cocktails.
Fairmont San Francisco is a real landmark. It has seen the likes of Tony Bennett sing in the Venetian Room - and it still has that same old-world grandeur.
