Shopping in San Francisco isn't the uniform, global, sanitized experience that it has become in most big cities worldwide.
Here in San Francisco, shopping is a form of individual expression- one that incorporates various countries and cultures, yet holds on to a distinct personality of its own.
You'll have the most memorable time shopping at Ghirardelli Square around the Fisherman's Wharf area. With its bright brick buildings, boutiques, shops and art galleries, this famous Square oozes a laid-back, old-world charm that makes shopping so delightful.
Ride a cable car or take a fascinating walking tour across buildings that reflect San Francisco's commercial past- from Mustard Building to Woolen Mill to Cocoa Building…they're all here!
Stop by for a leisurely lunch at nearby Radisson Fisherman's Wharf , just 4 blocks from the world-famous Ghirardelli Square. Then take a short stroll to Pier 39, San Francisco's top tourist attraction. Take in the gorgeous view across the ferries as you observe the wares for sale.
More spectacular views of the waterfront await you along the Embarcadero, San Francisco's waterfront boulevard. The Embarcadero Center is a favorite with locals seeking great shopping away from crowded tourist hangouts.
Branded retail stores such as Gap, Victoria's Secret, Banana Express, Liz Claiborne and Express Jeans rule the roost. The Discovery Channel store and the Giants Dugout make for interesting finds at the Embarcadero Center.
Not far from the Embarcadero, Mission Street Shopping attracts visitors and locals alike with its offbeat shops offering anything from snakeskin boots, vintage hipsters, discount bridal gowns, art galleries and, of course, the funky eateries.
Hop atop one of San Francisco's legendary cable cars and head for Powell Street. With a cable car stop right at its doorstep, Hotel Westin St. Francis stands out as a San Francisco landmark since 1904.
Nearby, the San Francisco Shopping Center is a treat for every shopoholic. Looking stunning in marble and gold, the San Francisco shopping center houses high-end American retailers such as the 5-Storey Nordstrom's twin-level Abercombie and Fitch, Kenneth Cole and many others.
Just a few blocks away, Union Square offers the most fascinating shopping with its fashionable outlets and chic galleries. From Macy's to Neiman Marcus to Saks, Levi's, Gucci, Prada, Diesel, Escada…Union Square Shopping is a hot favorite with the in-crowd. Don't miss the imposing Virgin Megastore and (if you must fake it) check out the faux jewelry at Imposter's! Rest your shop-weary feet and enjoy a choice of lip-smacking cuisine at one of the fine hotels that abound the area, such as Serrano Hotel , Crowne Plaza San Francisco and Sir Francis Drake Hotel .
A few steps away from Union Square, feast your eyes on the magnificent, historic architecture on Post Street, where the legendary Pan Pacific stands, surrounded by the City's finest art galleries, retailers and exclusive boutiques.
Nearby, Chinatown casts a spell with the dragon gates breathing down your neck. Experience a whole new world of shopping, replete with Oriental architecture- pagoda roofs, embellished lampposts, cascading silks, Buddha idols, parasols and other exotic finds.
Check out the green teas, curative herbs and (yummy!) Chinese food.
Just half a block from Chinatown, the Holiday Inn Select Downtown tempts you with a relaxing swim in their rooftop heated pool. The entire hotel is permeated with a sense of calm and healing- with the exotic indoor rainforest and Tru Spas with 11 relaxing treatment rooms. The hotel's retail space boasts of products such as Ole Henrickson and Z Brigatti. Located two blocks from Chinatown is the 1926 landmark Intercontinental Mark Hopkins , a noted architectural marvel.
Next, cab it to the Marina District, where Hotel Del Sol holds court. Flaunt your personal shopping style at Chestnut Street Shopping, with its sophisticated line-up of specialty stores, fashion boutiques and upmarket shops selling household wares, books, cosmetics and more, in a friendly-neighborhood atmosphere.
Check out the porcelain dolls at Blue Bird, amazing designer footwear at Rabat and exquisite lingerie at Chadwick's of London.
Finally, totter to your hotel with your arms full, feet aching and head spinning with all the excitement of San Francisco - a little bit of which you'll carry all the way home. |
