Halcyon Hotel

Enjoy the diversity... Compare the loud, outdoors, red/gold of Chinatown with the serene, interior, earth-tones of Japantown... See the Mission with its Native-American influenced interior, and treat yourself to a taqueria... See the Castro and try a cool non-chain coffeehouse in the Noe Valley... Don't forget to eat well in Italian-American North Beach... The 'crookedest street'--Lombard Street--is a cliche but still worth it... A dynamic, diverse, cultured, multifaceted gem of a city!!!Enjoy the scenery on the coastal highway south to Big Sur and north to Mendocino; it was white-knuckle for me much of the time but still unforgettable. See a winery in the Napa Valley.
