and complimentary Hors D’Oeuvres or a complimentary dessert at the end of a busy day, the breakfast buffet within the Lounge is excellent. Offering a vast selection of hot and cold American breakfast options; from a hot buffet breakfast to fresh fruit, Bagels and pastries, this was a good way to start a day full of exploring!
The View Lounge
This hotel is also home to The View Lounge! This iconic Lounge is famous for
its domed
floor-to-ceiling starburst windows; which showcase an unrivalled panorama of the Bay Area and beyond. What better place to enjoy a hand crafted cocktail?!
Exploring San Francisco Attractions
As a first-time tourist to San Francisco eager to explore the best of what the City has to offer, we didn’t want to miss out on anything! After some research into the sights that we wanted to visit, including Fisherman’s wharf, the legendary cable cars and a Circle Line cruise around Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge, we decided to get the San Francisco CityPass.

Cable Car Alcatraz island
We had previously used City Passes when exploring New York and therefore we thought they’d be very useful when exploring San Francisco and they didn’t disappoint! The City Passes are extremely good value for money by providing access to a range of attractions within the City.
We also had unlimited access to the Cable Cars for the whole 3 days we were exploring. As well as being the best way to get around the experience of riding a Cable Car is truly unique! With the mechanisms having hardly changed since 1873, remember what goes up all 338ft of San Francisco’s Nob Hill must come down!
From
Citypass.com you buy an easy to use ticket booklet; which provides you with admission into the best tourist attractions and is extremely good value for money. There were also discount vouchers con- tained within the booklet ... mine included 15% off both Macy’s and Bloomingdales. It’s hard not to treat yourself!
Conclusion
San Francisco has so much to offer and there are endless possibilities when deciding where to eat, where to shop or what show to see. San Francisco is the perfect city break to explore and enjoy and a wonderful start to our road trip!
