In 1987, Mandarin Oriental opened their first U.S. hotel in San Francisco. The new property was an opportunity for the hotel group to combine their reputation for legendary hospitality with San Francisco’s reputation as one of the best cities to visit in the States. Needless to say, the hotel has more than met expectations.
Mandarin Oriental, San Francisco is centrally located on Sansome Street, very near Chinatown, the San Francisco Farmers Market, and dozens of high-end shops, restaurants, and theaters. The famous Nob Hill and Fisherman’s Wharf districts are also within easy reach thanks to the city’s extensive cable car system. Business travelers will be pleased to know that the hotel’s neighborhood sits adjacent to San Francisco’s business district for easy access.
Welcome to the Bay Area
Mandarin Oriental, San Francisco welcomes visitors to the Bay Area with some incredibly stunning views. Once you get off the elevator take some time to explore within the hallway. To your delight you’ll find windows on both sides of the “walls” within the middle of the hallway. To be able to view the city from both angles at the same time is quite the experience. It doesn’t hurt that the hotel occupies the third tallest building in the city. Whether you view San Francisco Bay under the bright morning sunlight or under the shimmer of dusk, you will be swept away by beautiful colors and textures unlike anything you have ever seen.
