Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco at Embarcadero fills the top 11 floors of a 48-storey tower at 222 Sansome Street, in the Financial District, and its height is the point. From the rooms and suites the view takes in the city skyline, the Bay Bridge, Alcatraz and, on clear days, the Golden Gate Bridge. There are 155 rooms and suites, from skyline-view rooms to terrace suites at the top of the building. The hotel holds a sizeable collection of modern and contemporary art, and a sky bridge has a game for spotting landmarks by scanning a QR code. Orafo, the main restaurant, cooks Italian-inspired dishes with Californian produce and draws diners from across the city. A 24-hour fitness centre is on site. From the lobby it is a short walk to the Ferry Building and its food market, to Chinatown, Jackson Square and North Beach, and to Union Square for shopping, so the hotel works as well for a first visit to San Francisco as for a few nights at either end of a drive down the coast.

Why I choose it We choose this Four Seasons for its views and its position: high above the city, a short walk from the Ferry Building, with a restaurant worth staying in for.
