The Westin St Francis on Union Square

Leave a Comment / California, San Francisco, USA / By

The Westin St. Francis is the only hotel that actually sits on Union Square. The main building dates back to 1904, and many public areas boast the ornate columns, intricate woodwork and other design elements from this era. Perhaps the property’s most famous feature is its Magenta Grandfather Clock, a popular place for people to meet. Today the property comprises two separate buildings: the historic main building and a newer tower. Three on-site restaurants offer a host of dining options.

The Hotel Drisco was originally constructed in 1903. Today, the Hotel Drisco blends traditional elegance with the convenience and comfort of a world-class modern hotel. All guests enjoy a gourmet buffet breakfast and an evening wine aperitif. Ideally located in San Francisco’s most celebrated neighborhood, Pacific Heights, the Hotel Drisco puts you close enough to everything while remaining exclusively tucked away in the beauty of a historic residential neighborhood.

‘The Rock’ Alcatraz Island San Francisco, California

Abacos, California, San Francisco, USA / By

An icon of American criminal culture and history, Alcatraz (‘The Rock’) was perhaps America’s best-known prison from 1934 to 1963, when it housed such notorious criminals as Al Capone, Robert ‘Machine Gun’ Kelly and Robert ‘The Birdman’ Stroud (who looked nothing like Burt Lancaster in the 1962 movie, and was not allowed to keep birds there, as he had at Leavenworth, Kansas).
