Hilton San Francisco Financial District

Hilton San Francisco Financial District is a tower at 750 Kearny Street, facing Portsmouth Square on the edge of Chinatown in San Francisco, California. The location straddles the Financial District, Chinatown and North Beach, so the Transamerica Pyramid, the Dragon Gate at Grant Avenue and the cafes of Columbus Avenue are all within a short walk. Cable car lines on California Street and Powell Street are nearby, and the Embarcadero is a moderate walk east. Portsmouth Square, the small plaza in front of the hotel, is the historic site where the city was first proclaimed and is now a lively community space for Chinatown residents. The building itself is a conventional high-rise hotel with a business orientation, and it is directly linked by a pedestrian bridge to the Chinese Culture Center in the same complex. Room categories include King, Two Queens and suites, and upper floors give views across the Financial District and toward the bay. Amenities include a restaurant, a bar, a fitness centre and free Wi-Fi. Dining on site covers breakfast and casual meals, while Chinatown and North Beach offer a wide range of Cantonese restaurants, dim sum parlours and Italian cafes within a few blocks, and these are the main reason many leisure visitors choose the hotel. The service character is business-friendly, with meeting facilities and a concierge able to assist with tours and transport. It suits corporate travellers during the week and visitors who want authentic Chinatown surroundings at mid-range prices, with nightly rates generally between about $180 and $380. Visitors should note that the immediate area is busy and the streets around Portsmouth Square can be crowded, while hills to the north and west are steep. The Montgomery Street transit station is within a reasonable walk for airport connections. Visitors who want a quieter experience can ask for a room on an upper floor away from the square, where street sounds are muted, and early mornings in Portsmouth Square offer a distinctive view of local daily life, including tai chi and card games.
