Mandarin Oriental

Fodor's Review:

Two towers connected by glass-enclosed sky bridges compose the top 11 floors of San Francisco's third-tallest building. There are spectacular panoramas from every room, and windows open so you can hear the "ding ding" of the cable cars some 40 floors below. The recently renovated rooms, corridors, and lobby areas are decorated in rich hues of red, gold, and chocolate brown. The Mandarin Rooms have extra deep tubs next to picture windows so you can literally and figuratively soak up what one reader called "unbelievable views from the Golden Gate to the Bay Bridge and everything in between." Pamper yourself with luxurious Egyptian-cotton sheets, two kinds of robes (terry and waffle-weave), and terry slippers. A lovely complimentary tea and cookie tray delivered to your room upon your arrival indicates the hotel's commitment to service. The mezzanine-level restaurant, Silks, earns rave reviews for its innovative American cuisine with Asian touches.
