The City by the Bay- Part 1 {The Best Place to Stay in San Francisco}

Growing up we always made a big deal out of day trips to San Francisco.  The shopping was major, the wharf was fun to explore and the food was yummy.  Now that I'm older, not much has changed except I get to stay longer.  I love a good weekend in the City and the shopping and food have only gotten better.

Kevin and I recently shot over to celebrate a dear friend's 30th birthday which included a Giants Game, dinner at Lolinda's, drinks out and dancing.  The only thing we had to worry about is where to stay.  When I started my search I knew I wanted something in a great location. And by great location I mean near great shopping! Union Square is a mecca for wonderful stores.  When I saw how close Kimpton's Sir Francis Drake Hotel was to Union Square I stopped looking elsewhere and booked my stay.

We've stayed at several Kimpton Hotels in the past and they have all been fantastic, this stay was no exception. The room was spacious, we thoroughly enjoyed the lobby bar and took advantage of the close proximity to all the amazing shops. I'm talking just one block away! If you're planning a trip to the city any time soon be sure to book with Kimpton, you won't be disappointed.
