An Iconic San Francisco Experience

Five-star luxury where timeless elegance meets the vibrant spirit of the City by the Bay

A Legacy of Exceptional Hospitality

Since 1928, The Grand Monarch has stood as a beacon of luxury on San Francisco's Nob Hill. Our landmark Beaux-Arts building has hosted heads of state, Hollywood legends, and discerning travelers from around the world. Following a meticulous $85 million restoration in 2022, the hotel blends its storied heritage with contemporary luxury -- original marble floors, restored chandeliers, and period architectural details alongside state-of-the-art technology and modern design sensibilities.

With 186 rooms and suites, two acclaimed restaurants, a 12,000 sq ft spa, and a rooftop terrace offering panoramic views from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Bay Bridge, The Grand Monarch delivers an experience that honors San Francisco's grandeur while anticipating every modern desire.

Guest Impressions

We stayed in the Terrace Suite for our 25th anniversary and it was the most memorable hotel experience of our lives. The bay view at sunset, dinner at Aurelian, breakfast delivered to our terrace the next morning -- every detail was perfect. The staff remembered our anniversary without us mentioning it and left champagne and roses in our room.

I travel 200+ nights a year for business and The Grand Monarch is, without question, my favorite hotel in the world. The beds are the most comfortable I've slept in, the concierge arranged a private wine tasting that blew my clients away, and The Monarch Bar makes the best old fashioned in California.

Chef Moreau's tasting menu at Aurelian was a revelation. Seven courses of absolutely stunning California cuisine with wine pairings that our sommelier explained with genuine passion. The Grand Monarch understands that luxury isn't about excess -- it's about excellence in every detail.
