Wedged between the bustle of Chinatown and waterfront restaurants along the many piers, San Francisco’s lively Financial District has been the center of business for centuries. Once a place for Gold Rush-funded companies in the mid-19th century, it’s now home to many of the city’s biggest economic giants – including six Fortune 500 companies. With all the neighborhood’s history, plus an offering of modern restaurants and bars, it’s a great base for exploring San Francisco. Here are our picks for the best business hotels in San Francisco’s Financial District – bookable on Culture Trip.
