Best Luxury Hotels in San Francisco

San Francisco is one of the most popular destinations in the world and has some of the best hotel and restaurant options on the planet. Five star hotels abound from Downtown to the popular tourist spots including North Beach and Fisherman's Wharf and range from traditional luxury hotels to some of the best boutique hotels in the country.

San Francisco has a world-class symphony orchestra, opera, and ballet. Other not to be missed attractions include the San Francisco Maritime Museum, the California Academy of Science, the Natural History Museum and the Japanese Tea Garden. Restaurants and nightspots span the entire spectrum of fine cuisine and the best in live music and dance. Sports are at the top of the charts with everything from golf, surfing, fishing, skiing, basketball and swimming to the unforgettable San Francisco 49ers and San Francisco Giants.

San Francisco Nob Hill Luxury Hotels

Nob Hill has traditionally been the most monied neighborhood in the city and its streets are lined with stunning mansions that take full advantage of the incredible views from the privileged location on top of the highest hill in San Francisco. It should come as no surprise that some of the city's best known luxury hotels are located here including the luxurious Fairmont Hotel, the popular InterContinental Mark Hopkins and the world famous Ritz-Carlton.

San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf Luxury Hotels

Fisherman's Wharf hugs the Bay and is arguably the most popular tourist destination of the city. The streets are thronged with people, the world-famous cable cars take visitors up the steep streets and there are shops, boutiques and restaurants on every corner. There are numerous five-star hotels in and around Fisherman's Wharf including the luxury boutique Argonaut Hotel. Many visitors prefer to stay in less-crowded neighborhoods nearby rather than brave the ever-present crowds.

San Francisco Financial District Luxury Hotels

San Francisco's Financial District has been called "Wall Street West" and is located just steps from some of the city's most popular tourist attractions. Hotels in the neighborhood cater to a mix of business travelers and tourists. Five star luxury options include the Hyatt Regency, the Four Seasons and the elegant Park Hyatt.

San Francisco Union Square Luxury Hotels

Union Square is at the center of San Francisco's most popular neighborhoods for tourists and is the hub of the city's impressive shopping area. Within easy walking distance of the Bay and the major tourist attractions it is also home to a range of smaller boutique hotels including the Prescott and the elegant and trendy Clift Hotel. International luxury brands are represented by the Pan Pacific, the Westin St Francis and the Grand Hyatt San Francisco.

San Francisco Airport Hotels

San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is located 13 miles south of downtown San Francisco and although there are several airport hotels connected to the terminals it is close enough to offer very easy access to all of San Francisco's finest luxury hotels

What places in San Francisco can I visit?

We are planning to go San Francisco for 10 days. We don't have car with us. So where can we go and visit? Where is the best places and some good restaurants would you recommend?

Must sees include (in no particular order):

1. Alcatraz.
2. Get on a cable car at Powell St.
3. The Ferry Building (Happy Hour oysters on Mondays, yeah!)
4. Coit Tower and North Beach
5. Union Square.
6. Golden Gate Park and the new Academy of Sciences
7. Walk/bike the Golden Gate Bridge
8. Take the ferry to Sausalito
9. Fisherman's Wharf (tacky but everyone does it) - best thing there is the sealions
10. Do "the hills" (Lombard St, etc.)

The best way without a car is to use the Muni or the Bus (Bart covers larger distances and isn't the best way to get around the city). For your first time, get on a red tourist bus with a 24-hour ticket where a guide will introduce the major sites and sounds. Biking is also a great way to get around - and a bikemap will show you how to avoid hills.

If you can get a car, venture out up to wine country (Napa/Sonoma, an hour away) since it's beautiful up there. If you need restaurant recommendations, I'd strongly suggest checking www.yelp.com since it's based in SF and tracks restaurants aggressively. Needless to say, Asian food here is very good (but if you're a steak person, check out Houston's).

Have fun!
