Those who climb higher, find more at the "new" Stanford Court, A Renaissance Hotel, in San Francisco, CA. Perched atop Nob Hill, one of the city's most distinguished neighborhoods and the former playground of railroad barons and high society. In November 2008, the hotel emerged from a $35 million transformation melding its rich history with the modern conveniences and contemporary touches of today. Breathtaking views of the City and the Bay and luxurious surroundings are a few of the many highlights of the contemporary guest rooms at this historic San Francisco hotel.
