During your San Francisco vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Octagon House
This unusual, eight-sided, cupola-topped house of interest to architecture buffs dates from 1861 and is maintained by the National Society of Colonial Dames of America. The architectural features are extraordinary, and from the second floor it is possible to look up into the cupola, which is illuminated at night. In the small museum, you'll find Early American furniture, portraits, silver, pewter, looking glasses, and English and Chinese ceramics. There are also some historic documents, including signatures of 54 of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. Even if you're not able to visit the inside, this strange structure is worth a look.
Lombard Street
Known (erroneously) as the "crookedest street in the world," this whimsically winding block of Lombard Street draws thousands of visitors each year (much to the chagrin of neighborhood residents, most of whom would prefer to block off the street to tourists). The angle of the street is so steep that the road has to snake back and forth to make a descent possible. The brick-lined street zigzags around the residences' bright flower gardens, which explode with color during warmer months. This short stretch of Lombard Street is one-way, downhill, and fun to drive. Take the curves slowly and in low gear, and expect a wait during the weekend. Save your film for the bottom where, if you're lucky, you can find a parking space and take a few snapshots of the silly spectacle. You can also take staircases (without curves) up or down on either side of the street. In truth, most locals don't understand what the fuss is all about. I'm guessing the draw is the combination of a classic, unusually steep San Francisco street and a great photo op. FYI: Vermont Street, between 20th and 22nd streets in Potrero Hill, is even more crooked, but not nearly as picturesque.
Wells Fargo History Museum
Wells Fargo, one of California's largest banks, got its start in the Wild West. Its history museum, at the bank's head office, houses hundreds of genuine relics from the company's whip-and-six-shooter days, including pistols, photographs, early banking articles, posters, a stagecoach, and mining equipment.
The Archbishop's Mansion
One thing is certain, the archbishop who built this 1904 Belle Epoque beauty was no Puritan. Though the hotel isn't world-class, it is drippingly romantic, tucked away in a very residential but central neighborhood, and likely to be the most opulently decorated B&B you could possibly imagine. Here, within the uniquely adorned rooms, it's all about whimsy and drama. The Don Giovanni suite -- larger than many San Francisco houses -- holds a huge, French four-poster bed with cherubs carved into it, a grand fireplace, elaborate linens, and a shower with seven heads that you'll never want to leave. Slightly closer to Earth is the Carmen suite, which has a deadly romantic combination of a claw-foot bathtub fronting a wood-burning fireplace. In the morning, breakfast is delivered to the guest rooms, and in the evening, wine is served in the elegant parlor. With a CD player in every room and a video and CD library accessible to every guest, this is one hotel that is enticing enough to make you linger in your room.
The Mandarin Oriental
No hotel boasts better ultraluxury digs with incredible views than this gem. The only reason to pause in the lobby or mezzanine is for the recommended Asian tea service (complete with bento box of incredible bite-size delicacies) or cocktails. Otherwise, heaven begins after a rocketing ride on the elevators to the rooms, all of which are located between the 38th and 48th floors of a high-rise. Each of the very roomy accommodations offers extraordinary panoramic views of the bay and city. Not all rooms have tub-side views (incredible and standard with the signature rooms!), but every one does have a luxurious marble bathroom stocked with a natural loofah, a large selection of name-brand toiletries, terry and cotton cloth robes, a makeup mirror, and silk slippers. Guest rooms are equally opulent, with beautiful Asian-influenced decor, handsome furnishings, and all-around comfort and accouterments that make it difficult to leave your room.
The Pan Pacific
The Pan Pacific -- located conveniently close to Union Square -- is artistically glitzy, enormous, and somehow romantic, all at the same time. If this were a Hollywood set, James Bond might hoodwink a villain here, magically drop down from the sky-rise's atrium, and disappear into the night. But all is quiet and intimate in the third-floor lobby, even though the skylight ceiling is another 18 floors up. The lobby's marble fountain with four dancing figures and its player piano set the mood for guests relaxing in front of the fireplace. Major room updating in 2004 means each rather large abode is now swathed in chic white-on-white decor and adorned with flatscreen TVs and Herman Miller chairs. The bathrooms remain regal and lavishly marble-clad with a mini-TV at the sink and cozy bathrobes.
