Area Information of the Metro Hotel in SF California

PLACES TO VISIT

The Metro Hotel is centrally located and near many famous attractions.  The following is a list of places to visit during your stay at our hotel.

Painted Ladies at Alamo Square: Between 1849 and 1915, nearly 50,000 Victorian houses were built in San Francisco and painted in bright colors that embellished their architectural details.  One of the more well-known groups of Painted Ladies is at Alamo Square, only about four blocks from the Metro Hotel.  This block frequently appears in media and mass-market photographs of San Francisco and its tourist attractions.  The family sitcom Full House, which aired 1987-1995, features the Painted Ladies at Alamo Square in its opening credits.

Golden Gate Park: Located about four blocks from the hotel, Golden Gate Park is an urban park that covers over 1,000 acres.  With over 13 million annual visitors, it is the third most visited park in the United States.  Golden Gate Park features a Japanese Tea Garden, a music concourse area, the San Francisco Botanical Garden at Strybing Arboretum, the AIDS Memorial Grove, Stow and Spreckels Lake, the Conservatory of Flowers (one of the largest in the world), Kezar Stadium and John F. Kennedy Drive.

Civic Center: This area contains most of San Francisco’s large government and cultural institutions, such as City Hall, the Supreme Court of California, the War Memorial Opera House, Davies Symphony Hall, Herbst Theater and the Asian Art Museum.  The Metro Hotel is approximately twelve blocks from Civic Center.

All of these places of interest are near our San Francisco lodging property.
