For Dinner with a View
Can it get any more romantic than a dinner for two with a breathtaking view of San Francisco? If you’re looking to wine and dine, there are plenty of options in Nob Hill. Sip on cocktails and watch the sunset from the Top of the Mark, or take in the panoramic view of the Downtown Skyline on the Fairmont San Francisco’s rooftop garden.
SoMa
For Art & Culture
Are you looking for a romantic date night with some of the world's greatest masterpieces? SOMA is where arts & culture meet luxury. Spend a romantic night in the chic St. Regis San Francisco, connected to the MoAD and next door to SFMOMA. Or maybe the Palace Hotel, filled with art and history just waiting to be discovered. Afterward, return to your luxe hotel, order room service, relax at the spa, or utilize the ubiquitous "Do Not Disturb" sign.
Marin County
Beyond the Golden Gate Bridge
While we always encourage visitors to stay in San Francisco for their romantic trip, sometimes a stay on the other side of our famous Golden Gate Bridge is what’s needed. Just north of San Francisco in Marin County is Cavallo Point Lodge, where couples can enjoy luxurious amenities and breathtaking views of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco skyline.
