SAN FRANcISCO
UNITED STATES OF AMERIKA
Some call San Francisco the ‘Paris of the West’ because it is such a beautiful city filled with a diverse population, has an interesting history and is surrounded by the beautiful blue water of the San Francisco Bay. San Francisco became what it is today as a result of the Gold Rush of 1849, which increased the city’s population from 1,000 to 25,000 in a year. In San Francisco you can uncover the growth of the city on several walking tours, from the gold rush to the great earthquake and fire of 1906, to the summer of love in 1969 – just be prepared for a workout because San Francisco has some of the steepest streets in the world. You can get a sense of the hills and the entire city on a trolley ride. San Francisco is the gateway to Hawaii, Alaska, the Panama Canal, the Caribbean, and many more wonderful cruise destinations.
We have made a wonderful Cruise Port Hotel selection for you based on our own experiences and based on recommendations of your fellow luxury cruise lovers.

Pam Medlinger J.: “We stayed several nights in The Petite Auberge before our cruise to Hawaii at this boutique hotel! Met several other couples on the same cruise during the complimentary wine happy hour they have. The location was great for walking to several areas! “
For us, it’s a tangible thing – best practiced in Bon Chic, French country-inspired spaces, and enjoyed during starry nights tucked into plush beds and gourmet breakfast baskets on the mornings thereafter. Come discover our little inn – a Petite Auberge tucked amid the tony storefronts and restaurants of San Francisco’s Nob Hill. And rest easy in a place just as welcoming as home.
They’re an undeniably enticing experiment: equal parts bed & breakfast, boutique hotel (outfitted with a curated selection of global objets d’art), and charming guesthouse seemingly out of the South of France, yet in the middle of San Francisco’s unshakable pull. From complimentary breakfast basket taken on the garden patio to evening fireside chats where connections form over glasses of local wine (gratis, of course), this is the Inn Life. Won’t you please join?
How do you measure charm? The 26 rooms eschew cold for cozy, pillowy beds, in-room robes, and fireplaces to welcome you home. They’re perfectly peaceful refuges in the city’s heart.
Freshly baked pastries for breakfast. A glass of wine with snacks to enjoy during the evening. Oh, and cups of locally-brewed coffee, soft drinks, water, and teas available throughout the day. It’s all gratis to their guests. Plus, for something a little more substantial, enjoy choice seating or room service from Del Popolo, one of San Francisco’s best restaurants that are just next door. Trust us: it all tastes even better than it sounds.

Wonderful views of the bay
The beautiful Hyatt Regency San Francisco is amazing.
The Bart station is right across the street so it was fairly easy to get to the hotel from SFO or Oakland airport. The trolley pick up also is across the street.
The rooms are super comfy and roomy. Restaurants are available for you, we did not visit it though.
Wonderful views of the bay, clock tower, convention center, and super easy to get to Fishermans Wharf, Pier 49 with the shops, restaurants, and of course see the Seals.
‘Highly recommend this upscale hotel.’
