Fodor's Expert Review Loews Regency San Francisco
222 Sansome St., San Francisco, California 94104, USA See on Map
Two towers connected by glass-enclosed sky bridges compose the top 11 floors of one of San Francisco's tallest buildings, offering spectacular panoramas from most every room; the windows open so you can hear that trademark San Francisco sound: the "ding ding" of the cable cars some 40 floors below. A grand spa, rooftop lounge and onsite dining coax travelers from their quarters.
The complimentary house car delivers guests within a mile radius.
