There are many reasons why travellers might choose to stay in hotels with a view while in San Francisco. Perhaps the most obvious one is that it allows for beautiful, postcard-ready scenes right outside your window. Whether it’s the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge, Alcatraz, or the downtown skyline, these iconic sights are sure to take your breath away.
But there are other reasons to consider a hotel with a view in San Francisco. Certain locations offer prime viewing spots for watching the city’s famed cable cars as they inch up and down the hills. Depending on the time of year, visitors may be able to witness one of the most impressive weather phenomena in the world: the rolling fog that engulfs the city.
And finally, as anyone who has visited San Francisco can attest, there is no better place to people-watch than from a high-up perch in a hotel overlooking the city streets. So if you’re looking for an unforgettable experience during your next trip to the Bay Area, consider choosing a hotel with a view.
