Another smaller chain with excellent restaurants is the Fairmont. Also, selective hotels, particularly in big cities or at resorts, often have restaurants that are better than the average for that chain. Some examples include the St Francis (Westin)and the Mark Hopkins (Intercontinental) in SF and the Phoenician (Starwood Luxury Collection) in Phoenix.
