During your San Francisco vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts/Yerba Buena Gardens
The Yerba Buena Center, which opened in 1993, is the city's cultural facility, similar to New York's Lincoln Center but far more fun on the outside. It stands on top of the northern extension of the underground Moscone Convention Center. The center's two buildings present music, theater, dance, and visual arts. James Stewart Polshek designed the 755-seat theater, and Fumihiko Maki designed the Galleries and Arts Forum, which features three galleries and a space designed especially for dance. Cutting-edge computer art, multimedia shows, traditional exhibitions, and performances occupy the center's high-tech galleries.More commonly explored is the 5-acre Yerba Buena Gardens, a great place to relax in the grass on a sunny day and check out several artworks. The most dramatic outdoor piece is an emotional mixed-media memorial to Martin Luther King, Jr. Created by sculptor Houston Conwill, poet Estella Majozo, and architect Joseph de Pace, it features 12 panels, each inscribed with quotations from King, sheltered behind a 50-foot-high waterfall. For most, this pastoral patch is a brief stopover to the surrounding attractions. New to the gardens in 2004 are seasonal free outdoor festivals held on varied dates from May through October. It's definitely worth discovering whether you can catch one of these, as performances include dance, music, poetry, and more by the San Francisco Ballet, Opera, and Symphony and others; see www.ybgf.org for details.On the periphery of Yerba Buena Gardens are a number of worthy individually operated excursions. In the Children's Center, Zeum (tel. 415/777-2800) includes a cafe, interactive cultural center, bowling lanes, ice-skating rink, fabulous 1906 carousel, and interactive play and learning garden. Sony's Metreon Entertainment Center (tel. 415/369-6000; www.metreon.com) is a 350,000-square-foot complex housing great movie theaters, an IMAX theater, a bountiful gourmet food court, interactive attractions (including one that features Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are and surprisingly exciting virtual bowling), and shops. As part of the plan to develop this area as the city's cultural hub, the California Historical Society opened at 678 Mission St. in 1995 and is home to a research library and a publicly accessible California photography and fine arts collection.
Ghiradelli Square
This National Historic Landmark property dates from 1864, when it served as a factory making Civil War uniforms, but it's best known as the former chocolate and spice factory of Domingo Ghirardelli (pronounced "Gear-a-deli"), who purchased it in 1984. The factory has since been converted into a three-level mall containing 50-plus stores and 11 dining establishments. Scheduled street performers entertain regularly in the West Plaza and fountain area. Incidentally, the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company still makes chocolate, but its factory is in a lower-rent district in the East Bay. Still, if you have a sweet tooth, you won't be disappointed at the mall's fantastic old-fashioned soda fountain.
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.

Laurel Inn
Like the charming neighborhood that surrounds it, the Laurel Inn is noted for its warm sense of hospitality. Built in 1963, this newly renovated hotel represents a contemporary take on mid-century style to create a sophisticated and comfortable interior drenched in rich colors, relaxed textures, and ingenious details. Hotel Amenities include complimentary continental breakfast, afternoon lemonade and cookie service in the lobby, coffee and tea service 24-hours a day in the lobby, free indoor ...
Warwick Regis Hotel
Built in 1913, the Warwick Regis Hotel is one of San Francisco's oldest and most exquisite hotels. Located in the heart of theater and shopping district, the hotel is just two blocks west of Union Square. Recently renovated in 2002, the hotel features 80 rooms including 20 suites and is furnished with Louis XVI antiques from France and ...

Near the Union Square shopping district. A lot of upscale stores within a few blocks.

The Galleria Park Hotel is in the Financial District--one of the best areas in which to stay in San Francisco! My husband and I decided to visit this lovely city without a car and, indeed, this is the hotel in which to stay. I had asked for a referral for dinner the first night and gave us an excellent one. The hotel is being remodeled and, even though we stayed in one of the rooms that had not been done yet, it was still clean and comfortable. The room was quite small, but the room was quiet and since we were on the go the entire time, the size didn't really matter. The only flaw was on Sunday morning, when we were about to leave. My husband asked the man at the front desk about where we could go to eat (we weren't real happy about the breakfast selections at the restaurant on site), and he only received a curt I don't know. Later on, he asked for some change for a $20 and received a curt I don't have any without the clerk even looking. Since we were paying guests (and he knew this since we were checking out at the time), it would have been nice for him to show a bit more courtesy. Overall, however, it was a nice experience.

Good Business Amenities

Anonymous, Ontario, CA, 2006-07-29

Lots of shops right in that area. Straight up the hill was Chinatown for different types of shops.

Immediate access to the internet on computers in the lobby helped me out on this trip. Staff was friendly with greetings when you entered and left the hotel. The room was comfortable, they are remodeling, so early morning you would start to hear the hammering and tools.

confrotable and centrally located

carolyn, Los Angeles, CA, 2006-07-05

Bring good walking shoes. The map will not show you where the hills are! There are some great resautrants and shops further up Sutter St, but it si all hp hill to get there, and down hill on the way home can be just as hard on the feet and legs.

The Park Galleria Hotel is one of the many boutique hotels that have been restored back into working order over the last ten years in central downtown San Francisco. This hotel is a period piece with lots of old world charm, and at the same time is very comfortable and well taken care of. The room was a decent size, and the staff were very helpful. The bathroom set-up was unusual, but quite workable. The toilet and shower/tub were in a little room of their own, and the sink/vanity area was in a closet like room. Both opened onto the main bedroom. The vanity area did include a hair dryer, which was a modern convenience greatly appreciated. There was also a sizable walk in closet for clothes. The room also included a TV and refrigerator, but no coffee maker. The business center was a desk in the lobby with a couple of computers, which seemed to work well. There may have been wireless hook-ups in the rooms, but I didn't use this feature. Coffee was served all morning in the lobby, and there was a small restaurant adjacent to the hotel that a lobby entrance from the hotel istelf. The area is full of great restaurants and coffe shops, so eating is not a problem in this part of town. It was also a very close walk to the trolly service for transportation, Union Square and the Bart, and taxis were easy to catch from this location. Altogether a lovely experience, and I would stay there again.

Needs Update

Anonymous, Denver, CO, 2006-04-23

I know that back in the day this was a great and lovely hotel, the staff is very friendly and works hard to overcome the lack of amenities and the general disrepair of the rooms. I was shocked that the guest rooms were so dingy and dank. I had 2 rooms in the hotel and there were numerous items that did not work or were missing. Again Great Staff, Great Location, Needs a Real Good Freshening!

It was OK

Darrell, Indianapolis, IN, 2006-04-22

The staff was great at check -in prompt and friendly. Our first room was an inner facing room with a view of roof vents. The carpet had a hole in it at the bathroom door from cleaning fluids used on the floor tile. The air handler did not work. I notified the front desk before going out at about 11:00. We were told that a someone would fix it while we were out. Upon return at about 7:00 we discovered that it had not been dealt with. The front desk clerk spent some time pushing the same ON button I pushed and decided that yes it really did not work. We were moved to a smaller room across the hall with an air handler that did come on but did not cool the air. No matter because the curtains cover the air handler competely so a decision had to be made between cool air or street lights. It probably still isn't working. The iron in the room spit black stuff all over our clothes when we tried to get ready for dinner but the bar soap in the room did a good job of getting it off. They desk did offer to bring me a different iron. The hotel was conveniently located, the staff gave good directions, and our bedding was clean so that was good even if you couldn't get the bathroom door open all the way because it hit the chair. I didn't hate it but I would not recommend this place to someone I like and I don't think I would choose to stay there again.

Galleria Park review

Anonymous, 2006-04-10

Very close to all the biog stores

The hotel is conveniently located near downtown, Chinatown and within walking distance of convention center. I was very pleased with the internet access- never had a problem getting on or staying on. A colleague needed to join me and the hotel was not able to accommodate us with a two bedroom room. Even for one person, the room was small. The bathroom was functional but could could be updated.

Excellent experience

Michael, 2006-03-20

Take a city tour first to get an idea of where you're hotel is related to all the attractions.

The Galleria Park Hotel was an excellent choice, great location, wonderful staff and service. I highly recommend this hotel of staying in the Union Square area of SF. 5 star service at a 3 star price.
