San Francisco, CA

destination

Nob Hill

Right above Chinatown and Union Square, Nob Hill is what you probably picture San Francisco to be: hilly. Many people book hotels around Union Square, but I prefer to send people up the hill to escape the chaos of that area and instead be treated to amazing views of the city while still retaining that easy-access to other neighborhoods. Book at the Fairmont – the hotel is beautiful and has a rich history. You’ll love your stay!

Pacific Heights

Pac Heights is the fancy neighborhood – the houses here big and beautiful (and millions of dollars!) They all sit on a hill which has sweeping views of the Bay and the San Francisco skyline. To one side is the Presidio, a lovely park. To the bottom is the Marina, a trendy neighborhood for dining and shopping. It’ll make a great luxury home base for exploring the city! Look for a cute Airbnb (you can luck out and find one in a really fancy house sometimes) or book at Hotel Drisco, one of the best hotels in Northern California.

Hayes Valley

I love Hayes Valley for the cute houses, boutique shopping, and incredible restaurants. It’s in the heart of the city – literally, it’s very much in the middle. This lends it to be a great area to call your home base and explore the rest of the city in. Book at an Airbnb for the local’s experience!

Duboce Triangle

Duboce Triangle makes a great place to stay as it’s right next door to the Castro, The Mission and the Downtown area (Soma, FiDi, Union Square, etc). If you like to eat, consider this neighborhood. Look for a cute Airbnb here – I recommend one in the Castro that’s on the hill so you get views!
