During your San Francisco vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Glide Memorial United Methodist Church
There would be nothing special about this Tenderloin-area church if it weren't for its exhilarating lively sermons and accompanying gospel choir. Reverend Cecil Williams's enthusiastic and uplifting preaching and singing with homeless and poor people of the neighborhood attracted nationwide fame over the past 30-plus years. In 1994, during the pastor's 30th-anniversary celebration, singers Angela Bofill and Bobby McFerrin joined comedian Robin Williams, author Maya Angelou, and talk-show queen Oprah Winfrey to honor him publicly. Cecil Williams now shares pastor duties with Douglas Fitch, alternating presiding over the nondogmatic, fun Sunday services in front of a diverse audience that crosses all socioeconomic boundaries. Go for an uplifting experience and some hand-clapping gospel choir music.
Mission Dolores
San Francisco's oldest standing structure, the Mission San Francisco de Assisi (aka Mission Dolores), has withstood the test of time, as well as two major earthquakes, relatively intact. In 1776, at the behest of Franciscan missionary Junípero Serra, Father Francisco Palou came to the Bay Area to found the sixth in a series of missions that dotted the California coastline. From these humble beginnings grew what was to become the city of San Francisco. The mission's small, simple chapel, built solidly by Native Americans who were converted to Christianity, is a curious mixture of native construction methods and Spanish-colonial style. A statue of Father Serra stands in the mission garden, although the portrait looks somewhat more contemplative, and less energetic, than he must have been in real life. A 45-minute audio tour costs $5; otherwise, admission is $3 for adults and $2 for children.
Haas-Lilienthal House
Of the city's many gingerbread Victorians, this handsome Queen Anne house is one of the most flamboyant. The 1886 structure features all the architectural frills of the period, including dormer windows, flying cupolas, ornate trim, and winsome turret. The elaborately styled house is now a museum, its rooms fully furnished with period pieces. The Foundation for San Francisco's Architectural Heritage maintains the house and offers docent-led tours. The 1-hour tours (the only way to see the house) start every 20 to 30 minutes.
Hotel Monaco
This remodeled 1910 Beaux Arts building made its debut in June 1995 and instantly claimed title as one of the divas among Union Square's luxury hotels. For $24 million, the Kimpton Group did this place right -- from the whimsically ethereal lobby with a two-story French inglenook fireplace to the guest rooms with canopy beds, Chinese-inspired armoires, bamboo writing desks, bold stripes, and vibrant color. Everything is bold but tasteful, and as playful as it is serious, with nifty extras like flatscreen TVs, Web TV, and two-line phones. The decor, combined with the truly grand neighboring Grand Café restaurant that's ideal for cocktails and mingling, would put this place on my top-10 list if it weren't for rooms that tend to be way too small (especially for the price), the lack of a sizable gym, and the 2001 arrival of the Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco. That said, this place has great character -- especially in the common areas. If you stay here, take advantage of their nightly complimentary wine service accompanied by shoulder and neck massages.
The Queen Anne Hotel
This majestic 1890 Victorian building, which was once a grooming school for upper-class young women, is today a stunning hotel. Restored in 1980 and most recently renovated in 2003, the four-story building recalls San Francisco's golden days. Walk under rich red draperies to the lavish "grand salon" lobby, complete with English oak paneling and period antiques. Guest rooms also contain antiques -- armoires, marble-top dressers, and other Victorian pieces. Some have corner turret bay windows that look out on tree-lined streets, as well as separate parlor areas and wet bars; others have cozy reading nooks and fireplaces. All rooms have a telephone in the bathroom. Guests can relax in the parlor, with an impressive floor-to-ceiling fireplace, or in the hotel library. If you don't mind staying outside the downtown area, this hotel is highly recommended and very San Francisco.
Halcyon Hotel
Inside this small, four-story brick building is a penny pincher's dream come true, the kind of place where you'll find everything you need yet won't have to pay through the nose to get it. The small but very clean studio guest rooms are equipped with microwave ovens, refrigerators, flatware and utensils, toasters, alarm clocks, phones with free local calls, and voice mail -- all the comforts of home in the heart of Union Square. A coin-operated washer and dryer are located in the basement, along with free laundry soap and irons. You also get your own individual doorbell and mailbox. The owners are usually on hand to offer friendly, personal service, making this option all in all an unbeatable deal. Heck, they even throw in a basket of fresh seasonal fruit. Be sure to ask about special rates for weekly stays.
