San Francisco and related destinations

Fog rolls across the Golden Gate Bridge while cable cars clank up impossibly steep hills lined with candy-colored Victorian houses. At Pier 39, sea lions bark and pose as if auditioning for wildlife documentaries. The Mission's muralists transform walls into canvases while locals debate which taqueria serves the definitive burrito. Alcatraz broods in the bay, its audio tour narrated by former guards and inmates. Golden Gate Park hides surprises around every bend – Japanese gardens, actual bison, and museums where you could happily lose an afternoon. For the best city views, skip the tourist crowds at Lombard Street and head to Twin Peaks, where the whole magnificent bay panorama unfolds at your feet.

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good
"Location of the hotel was great. Right next to the fisherman’s wharf and so much to do in this area! The only thing that was a bit of a challenge was that the walls are very thin and if you’re a light sleeper, this hotel isn’t for you. My room was facing the driving entrance and i could hear everything from outside and the people above my room were so noisy it was like they were jumping on the floor the entire time and it was hard to sleep. Other than that, it’s a nice hotel."
