Our new fitness center is easy to find — it’s at the corner of California and Powell. True, it’s still technically part of the hotel, but now ... 

While SF’s fall weather consistently provides the beautiful part of that recipe — this is one of the best times to visit — the area’s culture provides the fun and inviting parts.

The history of Stanford Court Hotel goes back over a hundred years, beginning not with a hotel, and not even with the now famously opulent neighborhood of Nob Hill.
