Union Square Shopping Just Steps from Sir Francis Drake Hotel

You'll notice as you arrive at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel: Union Square and all its glorious boutique shops and destination department stores start literally next door to the hotel. Everything your heart desires in a shopping bag is within easy walking distance, from red carpet haute couture to souvenirs for friends and family.

Saks Fifth Avenue, adjacent to the Sir Francis Drake Hotel, anchors a corner of the historic square itself. From there, take a look around and you'll spy Tiffany & Co., Levi's landmark store (San Francisco is the company's birthplace, you know), Cole Haan, NikeTown, Neiman Marcus, Louis Vuitton, Salvatore Ferragamo, Macy's, Simayof, the Disney Store and Border's Books.

Radiating just to the east of Union Square is more boutique than you could imagine. You'll find Saks Men's Store, Armani, Burberry, Versace, Bulgari, Cartier, Shreve & Co., Kate Spade, Hermes and Coach. Mixed in between are equal favorites like Brooks Brothers, North Face, H&M, Zara, Ann Taylor, Williams Sonoma, Banana Republic and the can't-be-missed, Gump's. Heading south of Union Square and Sir Francis Drake Hotel are more favorites. You'll find another H&M, Crate & Barrel, the new Barney's (opening September 2007), Prada, Betsey Johnson, Frette, Apple, and Virgin Records.

On Market Street, just a few blocks from Sir Francis Drake Hotel is the new Westfield San Francisco Centre, home to over 400 retail spots. You'll find it all here: from the flagship Bloomingdale's to Bristol Farms, Hugo Boss to the Discovery Channel Store, Abercrombie & Fitch to Cocoa Bella Chocolates, Century Movie Theaters to the beautiful Nordstrom.

Arms laden down with all your new treasures from these and all the other shops in between, make your way back to the Sir Francis Drake Hotel. Stop downstairs to dine on mouthwatering cuisine at Scala's Bistro. Happily fortified, you're now ready for more shopping.
