Fantastic
Pros:

This is a fantastic hotel. I’m in the middle of what’s turned into a week stay- and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to stay at the Ritz, San Francisco. I had a reservation at The Four Seasons Embarcadero, which I ended up canceling because I needed just a few more Bonvoy nights to get “lifetime” Platinum, which is a nice thing to have because you then never have to worry about how many nights you stay each year with Marriott to keep your benefits. That said there’s so much about this hotel I really like. The façade // building is spectacular, it’s historic and just simply beautiful. The room has excellent air-conditioning, which is critical for me because I spent many years living in humid, non-stop hot Miami and in the Caribbean, so I’m accustomed to sleeping cold. The shower water-pressure is very good which often times these days, even in five star hotels is subpar. Everything else is typical Ritz, which is generally totally fine. The staff here are excellent. I assume they have a fantastic General Manager because it really is a fantastic group. So far, special note and thanks to Miguel at the Front door, Zach and Teresa at the Front Desk, Robert the Bellman, lobby bar/restaurant Server Elsa, and Concierge Michelle.
And the health club on the first level is large and very well equipped for a hotel. My only complaint which isn’t really a complaint, rather just something I’ve noticed that’s not perfect for me, is they go a little bit overboard on that Ritz air freshener scent throughout the hotel, but I tend to be very sensitive to any type of smell.
I highly recommend staying here, and when I return next time will bring my spouse, and will be sure to get club lounge, as I always do when we travel together, and I assume the club lounge here is fantastic.
Side-note: I haven’t been to San Francisco in 20 years; what an absolutely amazing and beautiful city. Don’t believe the media… I’m sure there are some sections just like in any major city that aren’t fantastic, but what an absolutely spectacular city!

Great service comfortable room
Pros:

I love this hotel. Incredibly friendly staff. Excellent club level. Comfortable room. Great room service. I can’t wait to stay here again, I’ve been here twice in the last two weeks. Yes not cheap but in my opinion worth the extra expense.

Pretty average for a luxury hotel
Pros:

I stayed here for one night. Our company held a series of board meetings and events over three days. The hotel was absolutely freezing the entire time. That being said, my room on the third floor was very stuffy and had a strange smell. So I was freezing during the meetings and in the various ballroom rooms and meeting rooms and very warm in my room, trying to sleep at night. The people who work at the hotel are extremely friendly and I think are trying to be helpful. But the hotel seems generally a bit dated. I would not choose to stay here if I were paying.

Muito bom
Pros:

Quarto confortável, equipe educada. Gostei de tudo.

Cons:

A questão da ladeira na hora de caminhar. O hotel fica numa parte íngreme. Mas SAN Francisco é inteira assim.
