It’s time to get away, to the City by the Bay

For a laid-back American adventure, San Francisco takes some beating. The hilly city in Northern California is renowned for its iconic Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, Ferry Building, Alcatraz, perpetual fog, vibrant music scene and coffee culture.

Check in to the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco for a luxurious break in the popular neighbourhood of Nob Hill and enjoy the impeccably appointed rooms and suites.

With 336 on offer, the property suits larger incentive groups while the classic event spaces can host large gatherings in the slick ballroom and adjoining spaces.

For a more contemporary stay, explore the Hotel Kabuki in Japantown (right).

An impressive $31 million has been invested to add a Japanese garden, fitness centre and yoga studio to this hotel, and vestiges of the neighbourhood’s culture are evident throughout, from the Japanese charred wood in the lobby through to the shibori fabrics in the rooms and a Japanese whiskies and sakes in the bar. Make time to explore the nearby ramen bars and excellent sushi restaurants on the hotel’s doorstop.

2018 marks the 60th anniversary of the San Francisco Giants, so check out the AT&T Park and explore the new exhibit space which features fascinating memorabilia and curio from the team and fan archives.

Be sure to take in a baseball game – hot dogs are entirely optional – this is Northern California after all, so food options include plant-based Impossible Burgers with their meat-free patties, fresh ahi tuna poke bowls and bubble tea.
