The Ritz-Carlton San Francisco is the 1909 neoclassical landmark on Nob Hill at 600 Stockton Street - San Francisco Landmark No. 167, originally designed by Napoleon LeBrun and Sons as the Pacific Coast headquarters of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. The U-shaped building spans the block on Stockton between Pine and California with a 17-column facade and a courtyard, one of the city's best neoclassical buildings; it reopened as the Ritz-Carlton in 1991. It has 336 rooms and suites with city or bay views and Frette linens, the Club Level, a spa, and the lobby lounge. It deepens AC's San Francisco cluster on Nob Hill alongside the Fairmont San Francisco and the InterContinental Mark Hopkins, with the Palace, the Four Seasons, the St. Regis, and the Westin St. Francis nearby. This is AC's home market - the company is based in South San Francisco minutes from SFO - so the airport runs and city knowledge are its core, and a Black SUV stays on call for the day.
Behind the landmark neoclassical facade, a 2015 refresh brought the 336 rooms and suites into the present - elegant decor, Frette linens, and city or bay views, with the courtyard buffering the street noise. The Ritz-Carlton Club Level offers a dedicated lounge with food-and-beverage presentations through the day, and the hotel has a spa, a fitness center, and the lobby lounge for cocktails and the long-standing San Francisco afternoon ritual. Nob Hill is the address - the historic hilltop of the railroad barons, steps from the cable car lines, Grace Cathedral, and Huntington Park. It is the neoclassical-landmark anchor of AC's San Francisco portfolio, and AC provides discreet arrivals, departures, and on-call chauffeur service for Union Square and Financial District business, the Moscone convention center, and wine country day trips.
The hotel sits on Nob Hill, the historic hilltop above Union Square. The California Street and Powell Street cable car lines run at the doorstep, and Grace Cathedral, Huntington Park, the Fairmont, and the Mark Hopkins (Top of the Mark) are a few blocks up the hill. Union Square's shopping and theaters, Chinatown, the Financial District, and the Moscone Center are downhill, and Fisherman's Wharf, the Embarcadero, and the Ferry Building are a short drive. AC's sibling San Francisco anchors - the Fairmont, the Mark Hopkins, the Palace, the Four Seasons, the St. Regis, and the Westin St. Francis - are all minutes away, and Napa, Sonoma, the Peninsula, and Silicon Valley are easy day trips. AC builds a San Francisco chauffeur program for business, conventions, and wine country.
This is Airport Commuter's home market - AC is based in South San Francisco, minutes from SFO, and has run San Francisco airport transfers since 1986.
