The ICMH is a great city hotel offering the ombiance of old Nob HIll. The location was handy, the hotel staff more than helpful and the breakfast at the Top of the Mark inviting. We spent three days as we visited the City by the Bay and found the hotel perfect in every way. more

This hotel is rather beautiful, a prime example of one of the old classic fancy historical hotels. It's been renovated and the rooms, beds, bathrooms, etc are all updated nicely. The staff are very friendly and nice, helpful whenever you ask. And, the decor is beautiful in the lobby and all around. I'm not sure why folks have complained about... more

I stayed at this hotel June 18-22 for a conference and I have to say it was very well organized, clean and the staff were helpful and nice and the check in and check out were both very efficient. I would stay here again, it is walking distance to Union Square, on the main road for the trolley and close... more

I live in the bay area but had to be in SF early in the morning so I decided to get a room using Priceline. I had never been to the Mark Hopkins, but I have high expectations for the Intercontinental brand. Sadly, this hotel doesn't live up to those expectations. I unfortunately was given a smoking room (and Priceline... more

Stayed at the Mark Hopkins on Mother's Day weekend. The room was clean, comfortable and welcoming. Although we did not partake of the special Mother's Day Brunch, we did have a beautiful breakfast buffet in the lobby dining room. One other day the same type of breakfast buffet was served at the Top of the Mark and the view just... more

We are fortunate enough to be close to SF to come up for the night, this night being in celebration of my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary. We wanted to do something special and stay somewhere they would NEVER stay themselves. I picked the Mark Hopkins for the history, location and also The Top of the Mark bar/restaurant. Our check in... more

You don't get what you pay for. This is a very very expnsive hotel for the ammenities you get. I spent $13.00 for a one page facsimile in their business center! I spent $50 bucks a night to park my car in the hotel. I spent $24 bucks for a drink in their bar. If money is not an object,... more

Others had mentioned that the Mark Hopkins treats their Priceline customers as "not their customers", and gives them smoking rooms at street level only. This was not our experience at all. I had seen the reviews, and went in armed with the knowledge that though I did purchase the reservation from Priceline, I am still their customer. The hotel choses... more

My Dad partied at The Top of the Mark on his way to the Pacific Theatre in WWII. Later he took my Mom there for weekends away. We even went there as a family when the focus of the trip was Playland, Fisherman's Wharf and King Norman's. My wife's Mom and Dad had business dinners with clients there when they... more
