San Francisco is known for its eclectic eateries, which means your ladies will have every opportunity to dine in style during your getaway. Whether you choose the down home deliciousness of Flour + Water in the Mission District or the lavish, contemporary cuisine of Gary Danko in the Fisherman’s Wharf Neighborhood, San Fran has it all.
From one trendy neighborhood to the next, the streets of San Francisco are filled with Asian, British, French, Italian, Moroccan, and of course American fare. And, to satisfy your group’s sweet tooth, the original Ghirardelli Chocolate Manufactory is located in the Marina District and offers visitors an after dinner dessert bar.
Nonstop Shopping
If you and your girlfriends are ready to hit the streets in a shopping frenzy, San Francisco has world-class retailers and mom and pop shops alike. The Marina District, Union Square, and the trendy Haight-Ashbury Neighborhood are great shopping destinations, but lesser-known Fillmore Street in Lower Pacific Heights is another shop-lined street with plenty of retailers and smaller crowds.
Unique Hotels in the Heart of the City
Whether your group of gals likes four and five-star accommodations or the laid back feel of a small boutique hotel, San Francisco yet again fits the bill. From the luxury and opulence of the Palace Hotel and The Ritz-Carlton to the quiet and inviting atmosphere of the Inn at the Presidio, San Fran has a number of hotel options. When traveling with a large group, it’s important to book your hotel before you arrive in San Francisco. Luckily, there are plenty of online resources that can help you find the perfect hotel in San Fran based on price, location, star rating, and amenities.
Night Life Just for the Ladies
Ladies weekend is all about letting loose and San Francisco loves the nightlife. So, after your crew wraps up dinner, why not head to one of the many clubs in the city and party until dawn?
Vertigo in the Tenderloin neighborhood is a chill destination to start with and Monarch in the 6th Street district is an all-night club that’s sure to keep the party going. Other notable, visit-worthy clubs in the area include Vessel and DNA Lounge.
Day Spas to Top it All Off
What’s a ladies getaway without a little spa time? When it comes to a relaxing spa day, San Francisco offers up the Japanese-themed Kabuki Springs Spa, the luxurious Nob Hill Spa, and SenSpa, which is located on the eastern edge of the beautiful Presidio. And that’s just a sampling of San Francisco’s extensive spa spirit. When planning your next gal getaway, keep in mind everything San Francisco has to offer.
