Every neighborhood in San Francisco has its own personality, from the hippie chic of the Upper Haight to the hipster grit of the Mission. The Marina district boasts trendy bistros and postcard-perfect views of the Golden Gate Bridge, while Noe Valley offers quaint and quiet boutiques. Wave hello to the sea lions at Pier 39, and sample local cheese and charcuterie at the Ferry Building. Sit in on a yoga session in Dolores Park or marvel at the Dutch Windmill across from Ocean Beach.

We liked the service, history, and architecture of this classy Union Square hotel in San Francisco. It is at a very good location. The rooms are nice There is also many areas for group functions and meetings. Its on the cable car route so its easy to get around to other areas of San Francisco.

Powell and Market is the terminus for one of our two still existing cable car lines. The lines to ride are seriously long and you might be pestered (or at least appalled) by the hordes of junkies and hobos that beg and "act out" while you wait. Might I suggest an alternative? Our other cable car line, the California line, is, in my opinion, just as picturesque and fun as the Powell line and, here's the best part, has wait times of minutes as opposed to hours! Head to the corner of California and Van Ness and quickly hop on the cable car where the line begins then ride up California through Nob Hill down the steep hill to Chinatown, past the mighty buildings of the Financial District and on to the last stop near the Embarcadero. If done on a Sunday you're just a short walk to the Ferry Building farmer's market where you can sample fruits and veg from our justifiably famous local farms, nosh on brilliant cheese from Cowgirl Creamery (and other vendors), buy real sourdough bread from various stalls or lunch at a terrific selection of local restaurants or food stands (hello Slanted Door)! The bay views are great and the building historic and fascinating (don't forget to check out the second floor). Put together, the cable car ride and the Ferry Building won't disappoint...I promise!

Considered to be the Champs Elysees of the city, this grand street is filled with shops, hotels, and, along the way, remarkable architecture.
I have bee to San Francisco a few times and always enjoy the city especially market street. When I first went to San Francisco, I can see that it was the separate line between the rich and the poor (rich up the hill and poor on the other side of the street. Nowadays, market street is the lifeline of the city (or lively area). There are tall buildings, financial section of the city, and high end department stores and hotel in the area especially from the Ferry Terminal to around Union Square area. This is where the city is the city. The trolley lines and the street cars end at Market street, also the BART line is running underneath Market street. Great street as city street.

Unveiled in 1970 this lovely gateway had its materials donated by China. It beautifully marks the southern entrance to vibrant Chinatown. Each of the three gateways is decorated with green roof tiles and each has a Chinese aphorism inscription. Two Chinese guardian lions are to be seen. The female one has her paw on a cub, a symbol of protection for the inhabitants inside.
