San Francisco

Beautiful, free-spirited and booming, San Francisco has long been the USA’s most bohemian enclave and, in more recent times, it has become the centre of its tech boom.

Despite its frequent fog and wet climate, San Francisco’s steep hillsides, colourful houses and sweeping coastal views are enchanting whatever the weather.

There's also plenty of choices when it comes to hotels, from the hip SoMa district to the elegant and leafy Pacific Heights or central and convenient Union Square.
