    Hotel Griffon Financial District - Ferry Building

    A short guide to Financial District - Ferry Building

    The bulls and bears of industry tread the streets of the Financial District, home to the city’s tallest buildings, including the iconic Transmerica Pyramid. The towers give way to The Embarcadero, the broad, palm-lined avenue that begins at the San Francisco Giant’s AT&T Park and ends at Fisherman’s Wharf. The road passes by the Ferry Building, a landmark transformed into an artisanal food market.

    "Great place to stay felt safe relaxed and comfortable"  by J from Hertfordshire, England

    The room was beautiful and over looked the bay (this was extra). the hotle was very lean and comfortable and there were good facilities. The staff were very helpful, however, at the time of our stay there was no restaurant owing to renovations and had to have breakfast (poor selection) in our room with no proper facility to do so. I am sure that when the renovations are complete it will be fine.
