subject: Your Guide To San Francisco's Financial District Hotels [print this page] If youve ever been to San Francisco, chances are youve already fallen in love with the spectacular city by the bay. One part of town you wont want to miss is San Franciscos financial district.
If you need a hotel, San Francisco financial district is worth a look, with a great location and chances for great savings. The Wall Street of the West" is home to Bank of America, Charles Schwab, and the Transamerica Corporation (in its landmark, 48-floor Pyramid), to name a few. The Embarcadero Center features dining, shopping, a fine art cinema, and a health club, while Justin Herman Plaza is the site of many New Year's Eve bashes. The Embarcadero itself fronts the Bay for miles on either side of the imposing Ferry Building Marketplace, modeled on the cathedral tower in Seville, Spain. San Francisco financial district hotels also offer many packages and deals on top of access to the sights and sounds of downtown.
Restaurants here, whether stylish or traditional, are informed by discretion and lack of pretense as befits a business environment. On California Street, in the heart of the Financial District, is the Tadich Grill, the City's oldest restaurant. Heavy on tradition, this seafood house hasn't changed much during its extensive existence. Delightful Aqua does incredible things with seafood. The shiny Fog City Diner, near the Embarcadero Center, tips its hat to the American railroad diner, but serves excellent food. Nearby Il Fornaio, at Levi's Plaza Park, offers an exhaustive Italian menu, as well as a takeout deli and bakery. The Royal Exchange is a popular after-work destination for the young movers and shakers of Montgomery Street.
