In a metropolitan city there are plenty of great hotels to choose from. Frequent visitors and business travelers often play favorites, and since 2002 the luxurious Omni San Francisco Hotel has been at the top of everyone's list. You might be surprised to find some city dwellers there, too, because this locale is irresistible even to its own neighbors. Location, location, location! A prime spot along the historic California Cable Car line, the Omni is within blocks of Union Square (shopping!), Nob Hill, North Beach, Chinatown and the newly renovated Ferry Building. The 17-story hotel is housed in an elegantly refurbished 1926 Florentine Renaissance-style building. If you are looking to splurge the Grand Presidential Suite is spectacular, as are the lavish California Suites. The Signature room is equally impressive, offering upgrades like sumptuous custom bedding featuring Italian-made Mascioni linen. High-speed Internet access, full-service concierge, downtown sedan service, fitness center and all the other amenities you've come to expect from a Four Star hotel are complimentary. You can satiate your hunger by calling the fantastic 24-hour guestroom dining service, but at trip downstairs to Bob's Steak and Chop House is a must.
