Hotel Description
The Mark Hopkins Intercontinental is a gracious, luxury hotel situated at the top of Nob Hill. Noted architects pronounced the Mark Hopkins architecturally perfect when it was built in 1926. The 19-story hotel is a combination of French chateau and Spanish Renaissance styles, embellished with elaborate terra cotta ornamentation.
It has been said of the Mark Hopkins that it is like the "Waldorf" of San Francisco. The newly renovated guest rooms, decorated in rich, warm colors with an eccentric interpretation of classical elements, exude a restful ambiance helping you relax at the end of a busy day. Just step right outside the front door to ride one of San Francisco's fabled cable cars. The hotel is minutes to fine dining, shopping and entertainment.
