We had a great weekend get-way . As with most Four Seasons the staff was nice and helpful. The rooms were comfortable but nothing over the top. All and all, a really nice place.

As other reviews have noted, this hotel is in an odd location, wedged between buildings fronting Market Street. The exterior of the building itself is uninspiring. But while auto access is somewhat awkward, the hotel is perfectly located for pedestrians to get to Union Square, the Financial District, and Yerba Buena Gardens, all within just a few feet of the hotel's front door. I stay in the city often on business, and the views from the lower floors of this hotel are not as good as those from The Ritz Carlton, The Fairmont or The Mandarin Oriental, all in the same class of hotel. Despite this drawback, which to me is minor but may be important to others, The Four Seasons is without doubt one of the top 5 best hotels in the city. The service is fabulous, the food terrific, and the location for walking where most travelers want to go can't be beat. It is without doubt on the pricey side (for instance: 2 beers, a glass of red wine and one small filet mignon (a la carte) was $100 -- reminds me of Tokyo, but I suppose Tokyo would be even more expensive). However, in this class the room rate itself is quite reasonable, and unlike other hotels, guests may use the four story Sports Club/LA (in the same building, with its own entrance for hotel guests) for free. Other hotels have no such amenity attached, and if they send you to one of the upper end health clubs, there is a day pass charge. So, bottom line, stay there, work out at Sports Club, have a drink, but eat elsewhere and I think you will enjoy your stay.

I stayed at the Four Seasons San Francisco for two nights with my husband and 17 month old daughter. The staff was very accommodating and the room was spacious and very clean with a great bathroom. We weren't impressed with the hotel restaurant (drinks not great, service not fabulous, menu pretty limited), but what the hotel lacks in restaurant, it makes up in health club. The health club/spa at the hotel (Sports Club/LA) is the best I've been to - got the best deep tissue massage of my life there. If you're from out of town, I recommend a trip to Sausalito, although skip the restaurants there. For good, authentic Mexican cuisine and fabulous margaritas, check out Colibri (5 minute walk from the hotel).

Great Hotel, very nice and comfortable rooms. Always a pleasure to come back to this hotel. FS standard, even if is not the best FS.
