From Fisherman’s Wharf to Union Square, our luxury hotel is just minutes from it all

San Francisco, America's favorite city by readers of Travel + Leisure magazine, is renowned for its steep rolling hills, an eclectic mix of Victorian and modern architecture, and its peninsular location surrounded on three sides by the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. The main attractions include the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, cable cars, the Transamerica Pyramid, Coit Tower, and Chinatown.

Union Square Shopping

San Francisco’s Union Square is colorful with fresh flower stands dotting the sidewalks. Cable Cars run along Powell Street. Crafts people sell their wares curbside on Stockton Street between Post and Sutter. Shop windows tempt passers-by with their colorful displays.

Guests of The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco hotel are just minutes from Union Square featuring exceptional shopping and dining options. Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Macy's border the square, and just a few blocks away the San Francisco Center is host to the Bloomingdale and Nordstrom Center along with dozens of boutique establishments. The blocks surrounding Union Square are lined with specialty shops, from Emporio Armani to Tiffany, to Wilkes Bashford. Relative newcomers such as Records, a Disney store, a Virgin Megastore, and Niketown keep the retail scene jumping. Situated in the heart of downtown, our Union Square luxury hotel’s location provides the perfect destination for sightseeing, shopping and dining.

Nob Hill

Of The City's many hills, Nob Hill boasts perhaps the best view of San Francisco Bay, especially when observed from a California Street cable car, running from the foot of Market Street, over the hill and down to Van Ness Avenue. Nob Hill's noble tenants include Grace Cathedral, a replica of Notre Dame in Paris; Huntington Park, site of many arts shows and graced by a replica of a 16th century Roman fountain; Nob Hill Masonic Center, an architectural dazzler hosting various musical events. And don’t miss seeing famous Lombard Street, dubbed “crookedest street in the world.” This landscaped street is a photographer’s favorite.

Known for its historic waterfront, delicious seafood, spectacular sights and unique shopping, Fisherman’s Wharf offers a wide array of things to do for everyone. Its fabulous location in the 'City by the Bay,' puts you within minutes of the Maritime Museum, Alcatraz, Coit Tower and everyone’s favorite, the world famous San Francisco Cable Car lines.
