Fodor's Expert Review Hilton San Francisco Financial District

750 Kearny St., San Francisco, California, 94108, USA

Business travelers patronize this hoppin' Hilton for its airy guest rooms and large work desks, but even in high season the weekend rates drop significantly, luring leisure travelers. The third-floor Sky Bridge over Kearny Street connects this giant hotel with Chinatown's Portsmouth Square, and the Financial District and North Beach are steps away. Constructed in the early 1970s, the Hilton is nothing to look at but occupies a plot of land whose history dates back to gold-rush days.

PROS

  • has its own "technology lounge"
  • good-size rooms with bay or city views
  • great location at intersection of FiDi, Chinatown, and North Beach

CONS

  • congested downtown area
  • property needs sprucing up
  • feels rather corporate
