If You Are in a Hurry
Here’s a quick list of the best hotels in San Francisco
San Francisco’s dramatic hills, iconic bridges and shimmering bay make hotels with a view not just a luxury but the city’s most memorable perk. For the best panoramas, book a higher-floor or corner room in neighborhoods like Nob Hill, the Embarcadero or the Marina, prioritize hotels with rooftop terraces or bay-facing suites, and request a specific room orientation early to secure sunrise or sunset vistas of the Golden Gate, Alcatraz and the downtown skyline.
