This old-world European-style luxury hotel perched atop Nob Hill fondly known as The Mark is one of the most popular homes away from homes thanks to a well-earned reputation for service and style. Grand public areas give way to elegant rooms, many of which offer stellar views of the bay. Its penthouse attraction, Top of the Mark, is one of San Francisco’s top spots for tippling with a view, and has been since couples gathered here during World War II so send off their beloved servicemen in style.
