Downtown San Francisco

San Francisco's cutting edge
Downtown
  • Hotels
  • Restaurants
  • Things to do
  • Nightlife

While the rest of S.F. has a certain quaintness, a visit to Downtown is a reminder that the city is a metropolis, one with its share of skyscrapers and hoards of office dwellers scurrying to and from work. Downtown not only encompasses the Financial District, but also Union Square, the Embarcadero, Bayview restaurants, bars, and public spaces. Visitors will also want to see; City Hall, the Asian Art Museum, the Notre-Dame-des-Victoires Church, and the former Pacific Stock Exchange.

Hotels averaging 857 USD per night
