Flagship stores ring Union Square, among the vanguard of West Coast retail. Chinatown begins at Grant Avenue and Bush Street, while Gold Rush-era mansions crown Nob Hill. South of Union Square, the convention center area includes the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Cable cars turn around at Powell and Market streets to head back to Fisherman’s Wharf.

Club One, on the hotel's terrace level, is a health club and fitness center available to hotel guests at a discounted rate. It has weights and cardio equipment, saunas, and steam rooms, and offers aerobics, spinning, and yoga classes, as well as massage.

A children's playground–one of very few found in the city center–is located in Huntington Park, one block from the hotel. The residential Nob Hill area that surrounds the hotel is suitable for running; the hotel concierge can assist with route planning. Several public-play golf courses in San Francisco include Presidio (three miles away) and Lincoln Park (five miles). Ocean beaches are located six miles west of the hotel.

San Francisco is a hilly town, but largely bicycle friendly, and many visitors enjoy riding rented bikes over the Golden Gate Bridge, five miles from the hotel. Guests can return the same way or put their bikes on passenger ferries departing from the town of Sausalito across the bay and travel back by water to the recently restored Ferry Building on the Embarcadero, one mile from the hotel.
