Nothing rings the big-shot bell as loudly as dropping four or five figures on a night's lodging, especially at these nine San Francisco hotels where (somebody way richer than) you can score some seriously ridiculous presidential suite amenities, from veranda hot tubs and private pool halls to 60-person dining rooms and 1,200sqft balconies.

Private Apartment Clift (address and info)

Cost: $2,500 a night

Breathing room: 1,500sqft (three rooms)

Ballerest amenity: Working fireplace

Because after a night of going big at The Redwood Room, sometimes you just wanna retire to a suite of rooms atop the Clift for a fireside nightcap amid swagged-out sofas. The Clift's Private Apartment lets you do exactly that.

Presidential Suite The Intercontinental (address and info)

Cost: $5,000 a night

Split into two levels, each decked out with its own outdoor terrace and floor-to-ceiling views of the city, you won't have much use for the high-tech entertainment system -- but you know, it's there for you if you've had your fill of urban splendor.

Specialty Suite Four Seasons (address and info)

Cost: $5,000 a night

Breathing room: 2,300sqft

Ballerest amenity: Sommelier-stocked wine fridge

Tub for two. Hella big screen. Boss wine selection. Throw in striking, uninterrupted views of Yerba Buena Gardens along with that Four Seasons charm and this spot basically pays for itself.

Bridge to Bridge Terrace Suite Loews Regency SF (address and info)

Cost: $5,580 a night

Breathing room: 2,000sqft

Ballerest amenity: Car with driver

Stroll your private terrace and soak in the eponymous bridge views at your leisure, ideally with a fresh drink from the suite's full wet bar. The bathtub alone in this place is worth the just-north-of-$5K price tag.

Imperial Suite InterContinental Mark Hopkins (address and info)

Otherwise known as the entire 18th floor, the Imperial Suite takes your traditional penthouse experience and adds a second, bigger penthouse to the mix for fun. It's got three Jacuzzi-equipped bathrooms, so being emperor of Nob Hill means never having to wait your turn.

Presidential Suite Ritz-Carlton (address and info)

Cost: $8K

Breathing room: 2,000sqft (plus a 1,200sqft balcony)

Ballerest amenity: Personal wine cellar

Gaze down upon the FiDi from your private balcony and count yourself its lord... And then count yourself lord of Alcatraz and Telegraph Hill because yep, you can see those from your balcony, too. Rounding out the well-appointed dining, bathing, and living spaces are your fully stocked wet bar and a dedicated concierge. Plush.

Penthouse The Battery (address and info)

Cost: $10K

Highly exclusive clubs are wonderful and all, but what if you want to take exclusivity to the next NEXT level? Penthouse. The patio, kitted with its own fireplace and hot tub, is bigger than most people's houses, the views are dopamine drenched, and the rooms are straight-up sumptuous. As for the club itself, access is included for the duration of your stay.

Presidential Suite St. Regis (address and info)

Cost: $10K

Breathing room: 3,250sqft

Ballerest amenity: Two living rooms

Because sometimes you need to entertain a visiting dignitary, and other times you want to watch The Rock on a gargantuan screen, but ne'er the twain should meet: this suite's for you. Full kitchen. Dope views. Private study. Huge -- like apartment huge -- bathroom with a whirlpool for two. And of course a bed so trill, you'll sleep like the ghost of a noble king.
