SAN FRANCISCO

WELCOME TO SAN FRANCISCO

Luxury abounds in this exquisite, world-class metropolis

San Francisco combines all the greatest attributes a city could feature and puts its own contemporary and ultra-cool spin on it. Whether you define the perfect night by dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant before listening to live music in one of the country's oldest and most revered jazz districts or prefer to gaze at the stars while revelers dance with fire rings, San Francisco offers nonstop excitement.
 
The technology hub of the nation, home to everyone from Google to Apple, has an ultra-refined side to its counterculture vibe. From its mansions to its museums, “the city,” as Bay Area locals call it, overflows with elegance and style.

WHAT TO LOVE

  • One of the world’s most iconic city skylines 
  • A rich, nuanced history and a hyper-progressive present
  • An abundance of luxury shopping and globally renowned eateries
  • Stellar residential and commercial architecture

Local Lifestyle

Residents of the nation’s second-priciest city savor their access to everything from opera and ballet to hip-hop concerts and museums of modern art. A large part of the city’s appeal is that there’s no single way to describe its inhabitants. Whether you are an aspiring poet, app designer, ceramicist, or CFO, San Francisco is legendary for making anyone and everyone feel at home.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

San Francisco proper may be only 47 square miles, but it possesses one of the highest concentrations of incredible restaurants, taverns, galleries, and shops – so much so that it can be overwhelming at times, particularly since hot new restaurants and boutiques seem to pop up every week.
 
Brenda’s French Soul Food on Polk is an excellent place to start. Famed for its fabulous brunch, you will find French beignets brimming with molten Ghirardelli chocolate, banana fosters French toast crowned with warm butter rum sauce, and pulled pork eggs Benedict with creamy hollandaise. Meanwhile, luxury is epitomized at the ever-popular House of Prime Rib, where you can decide between different cuts of succulent prime rib while it’s carved at your table.
 
When San Francisco residents are in the mood to soak up views of the glimmering bay, they book a table at Fog Harbor Fish House, which overflows with old-school charm with its dry martinis, clam chowder, oysters Rockefeller, and fish and chips. 
 
Indeed, no matter if you hit up the hip Golden Boy Pizza for a slice of garlic focaccia or splurge on fine French fare at the world-famous Gary Danko, San Francisco will satisfy all of your cravings.

Things to do

San Francisco overflows with special activities. As one of the largest public parks in the country, Golden Gate Park abounds with pleasures, from a historic carousel for children to miles of hiking, biking, and walking trails. Mission Dolores Park is just as enjoyable with its gem-green sloping hills and spectacular water views.
 
As a cultural hotspot, San Francisco also features memorable and sensational events year-round, including the always-colorful footrace Bay to Breakers. It starts in the Embarcadero and ends with a splash in the water at Ocean Beach. The Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival takes place in Japantown, and Outside Lands is a wild, three-day musical festival celebrated in the heart of Golden Gate Park.
