Just blocks from Union Square and the Theatre District, you’ve got the world at your feet. Embrace it. Then embark on the path less taken. Hotel Emblem is inspired by the Beat Generation and we know you love the eclectic, obscure and unknown as much as we do.

For the art lover, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and its colossal collection of contemporary art spans ten floors. You could easily spend a day there. Or, head to the Mission District to see the vibrant Mission murals inspired by world-famous artist Diego Rivera in the 1930s. Don’t miss Balmy Alley with its murals dating back to the 1970s, many of which are dedicated to and inspired by trailblazing female artists like Frida Kahlo and Georgia O’Keeffe.
Another must-see: Golden Gate Park. You won’t see the city’s famous Golden Gate Bridge here—that’s a few miles to the north—but free music, fine art and everything in between can be found at the massive green space. Wander through the Japanese Tea Garden, find the Dutch Windmill and enjoy American fare with ocean views at San Francisco’s most famous park. Further east in The Castro, Mission Dolores Park has even more spirit and sparkle, as it is located in one of the most out and proud neighborhoods in the world.
Shoppers, get ready to follow your every whim. From the trendy boutiques of Union Square to the import vendors of Chinatown to the vintage shops on Haight Street, San Francisco is one amazing shopportunity after another. And for every budget, too. Check out the big-name retailers at Westfield San Francisco Centre, the specialty stores at the Embarcadero Center, and the art galleries and design studios in Hayes Valley.
