What's Nearby
Getting Around
The hotel offers valet parking ($59 a night). Many travelers prefer to take advantage of the city's public transport, especially since the cable car, Muni buses and trains, and BART trains all stop within a few blocks. Walkers love the proximity to Union Square, Nob Hill, Chinatown, SoMa, and North Beach.
Restaurants
Dig into the city's best Cal-Hawaiian cuisine--their poke blows all others out of the water--at Liholiho Yacht Club (4-minute walk). Fans of Japanese cuisine should head to the wildly popular Mensho Tokyo SF (3-minute walk) for steamy ramen.
