A Perfect Day

Why not start the day out right? Bistro 888 on the lobby level offers a scrumptious buffet and a la carte menu. A short 2-block walk from our hotel, you can pick up the F-line streetcar to take you down to the Ferry building, where you will find 50 different vendors offering some of the finest food in Northern California, with views to match. Walking north along the waterfront, you'll come to Fisherman's Wharf, the touristic heart of The City. You can jump on one of the sightseeing boats for a cruise on the bay to get you up close and personal with the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Wander the wharf at your leisure, but be sure to grab an Irish Coffee at the Buena Vista Café, check out the famous sourdough bread bakery, Boudin's, and don't forget to pick up some world-class chocolate at Ghirardelli Square.

San Francisco has 12 distinct neighborhoods, each with its own distinct feel and culture. Some of these vibrant areas are just a short walk from our hotel. Journey to the upscale Union Square neighborhood, our major restaurant, theater, and shopping district. From there, it's just a few blocks to Chinatown, with any number of restaurants, bakeries, and tea and souvenir shops. The other side of Chinatown will bring you to our Italian neighborhood, North Beach. The area was made famous by the Beatniks, such as Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, but remains popular for its numerous Italian restaurants, saloons, and waterholes where you will hear live music spilling out into the streets. Top off the evening with a visit to our own Bar 888, where our certified mixologists make drinks as varied as lemon drop martinis, classic old-fashioned, and an array of enticing mocktails. After a full day exploring our City by the Bay, you'll know why so many people leave their hearts here.
