Pam and I are considering a several day trip to SF later this spring. Does anyone have any hotels or activities to recommend, besides the blindingly obvious? :)
We're looking to do the touristy things, fishermans wharf, some wine tasting, alcatraz, and I'm mostly looking for a nice hotel recommendation of a hotel that has some flavor, rather than being a chain hotel just like every city has. I don't mind if the hotel is run by a big name, I just want something romantic and ecletic near the tourist places.
Well, then the Miyako Hotel might be up your alley.
As for wine tasting, I don't know of any specific venues in San Francisco itself that are good for that, but the real wine county, Napa and Sonoma counties, are only an hour away. (And I live in Sonoma county.) Where there's wine-tasting galore.
Alternatively, if you like sake, I believe this place, True Sake does sake tastings.
Alcatraz is definitely a good tourist place to visit. I've not been for a while, personally, but it's truly fascinating.
