Visitors to the San Francisco Bay Area will find a full range of accommodations. There are plenty of larger places to stay, but the city itself abounds with small and elegant hotels, inns and bed-and-breakfasts. There are few budget properties, but less-expensive accommodations can be found on Lombard Street in the Marina District, which is often called motel row—rooms cost half the downtown rates. Because most of the city's major sights are in a fairly compact area that's well-served by public transportation, those staying anywhere in the area from the Financial District to Fisherman's Wharf can choose their hotels to suit their tastes, rather than worrying about location. Advance reservations are always recommended in San Francisco, especially during the summer and fall tourist seasons. This is a cosmopolitan town with lots going on all the time.

Clift
495 Geary St, San Francisco, CA
Located in the heart of the city, two blocks west of the square, and next to the Curran Theater, this hotel may bear a name closely associated with San Francisco's Old Guard, but its quirky high-style interiors are sure to shock traditionalists.

The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco
600 Stockton at California St, San Francisco, CA
Located one steep block down from the crest of Nob Hill, this discreet and regal refuge fills a neoclassical palace once known as the Temple of Commerce, a name that still has currency given the vocation of most of its clients.

Best Western Tuscan Inn
425 N Point St, San Francisco, CA
Located across from the more sophisticated Sheraton Fisherman's Wharf, and two blocks southeast of the wharf itself, this upbeat, midrange port for tourists does a better job of hosting individuals than either the Holiday Inn or the nearby Hilton.

The Donatello
501 Post St, San Francisco, CA
Located opposite the teaming JW Marriott and superior service-oriented Prescott, this is a comfortable, if uninspired, hotel-cum-timeshare operation.

Grand Hyatt San Francisco
345 Stockton St, San Francisco, CA
