Parc 55 in SF

[mamatrouble]

Anyone stay there and how was it? She reserved a top floor room!!

Also looking for a good restaurant for a fabulous dinner..Daughter taking me to SF for celebration of sorts. Was there a few a years ago but DD has never been. Would welcome any ideas!!

Not entirely happy with the location but it is very convenient to shopping, transit & entertainment. the Parc 55 is a good hotel. Palomino is a fun & good restaurant or try Swiss Louis or Neptune at Pier 39.

Pier 39 is a very touristy place, one that might make sense if someone is in San Francisco as a one day port of call, since you can walk to Pier 39 from Pier 35, but Parc 55 is closer to better restaurants than any available at Pier 39, especially Neptune's Palace, which really isn't very good at all.

 

I would suggest taking a look at Michael Bauer's columns in the San Francisco Chronicle, and/or searching the database available online at http://www.sfgate.com/food

 

On that page you can search by location or food type, and there's also "Bargain Bites."

Thanks for the info, but this time not cruising..taking a long weekend there. I helped DD go though Nursing school and she said that we would go anywhere that I wanted for dinner so I said SF has good resturants..LOL:D So we are!!!!

2* Michelin -- one of 3 in SF -- Michael Mina. You will be able walk there from Parc 55. But without drinks, it will be $125 pp plus tax and tips. Google the name. /Sultan

I loved this hotel. The rooms seemed small but very cozy. I actually like the location very much. You're right across the street from the Westfield Mall, and next to lots of stores.

I think Union Square isn't too far either.

 

Enjoy!

I live right across the bay so never stayed there, but I've peeked in and it looked very nice. I like the location, too. Across the street from Nordstroms and Bloomies, two blocks from Union Square and Macys, Saks 5th Avenue, Tiffanys....what's not to like? :) My personal favorite place for lunch with my daughter is the Bistro on the (I think) 5th floor of Nordstroms, esp. if you can get a table by the windows. You're overlooking the Powell street terminus of the cable cars and it's an incredible view. Food's pretty good too, and the kalamata aioli served with the fries is killer.
