    Nestled between Nob Hill and The Tenderloin is one of the most comfortable hotels in San Francisco and one of the greenest.

    The Golden Gate Bridge is a world-famous suspension bridge completed in 1937. It is part of US 101, and it connects the City of San Francisco to Marin County and the rest of the northern California coast.

    The natural air conditioning system that San Francisco's fog provides engulfs the Golden Gate bridge most afternoons, providing very dramatic temperature changes, and leaving the tourists running to the shops to buy more clothes.
