DIRECTIONS
Located at the top of Nob Hill in the heart of San Francisco, the historic Fairmont Hotel offers stunning views of San Francisco and San Francisco Bay. The hotel takes up a city block between Powell and Mason Streets and Stockton and California Streets.
BY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION:
The Fairmont is serviced by the Number 1 bus line and three cable car lines: the Powell and Mason line, the Powell and Hyde line and the California Street line.
Travelers coming in from either the San Francisco International Airport or the Oakland International Airport can take the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) to downtown San Francisco and connect to either the cable car or bus lines.
Travelers can connect to the Number 1 bus and the California Street cable car line from the Embarcadero BART station.
Travelers can connect to either the Powell and Hyde and the Powell and Mason cable cars from the Powell Street BART Station.
Whenever possible, we encourage the use of public transportation. Parking on Nob Hill is fairly scarce. If you need to drive, consider parking somewhere along the #1 California MUNI bus line. It is one the city’s most frequent, dependable lines and has very convenient stops near the Cathedral both inbound and outbound.
