Mingle with young professionals, tech geniuses and finance gurus when you walk the streets of the Financial District. 

The towering skyscrapers of the Financial District cast a Manhattan feel over the bustling streets as people move about from one meeting to another. But since you’re on holiday and not on the clock, forget about all those board meetings and head to the Wells Fargo History Museum. Not into banking history? No problem. The Pacific Heritage Museum should keep you entertained for a bit. And be sure to stop in to a few of the great watering holes in the area.

"Great location. Walking distance to chinatown, financial district and little Italy. My room location was a little noisy. It was located right beside/behind the elevators. I can hear rumbling noise, I thought at first I was near a train station but realized it must be the elevators."

Love this place!
"I really like this hotel, have stayed here many times. Some rooms are smaller but others are like apartments. It’s close to the Ferry building, BART & MUNI stops and a grocery store is only blocks away."
