There is no other city in the world quite like San Francisco its rich history is reflected in the colourful architecture and the cultural variety to be found in the food, art, shopping and entertainment. This is the unconventional side of America where just about every social revolution and health fad has been born. A few highlights not to be missed are the cable car ride from just outside the hotel down to Union Square, a great way to appreciate the incredibly steep streets with views over the bay and the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge and then indulge in a little shopping and eating. The excellent concierge at the Huntington will discuss and arrange the perfect itinerary to suit everyone and after a busy day sightseeing, perhaps experiencing the grim history of Alcatraz, what better way to unwind than have a relaxing swim in the stunning pool followed by a drink curled up in front of the fireplace in the spa with views over the city through floor to ceiling windows.
