At Four Seasons, you enjoy a unique vantage point from which to explore the city's sights, sounds and experiences. Begin with a walking tour of the Hotel's Art Collection, then venture out to explore San Francisco's neighbourhoods and diversified cultures. We hope the highlights of local attractions below will help simplify your planning.

Weather-

With an average of 300 days of sunshine every year, San Francisco’s temperate climate is ideal for strolling its steep, hilly streets. Breezes off the ocean bring cooler temperatures than southern California, and mild weather prevails, year round. Warm temperatures paired with clear, sunny days and cool evenings typify spring and early autumn months.











The Four Seasons Hotel & Residences is a 121 m (397 ft) mixed-used, development at 757 Market Street in San Francisco, California near Moscone Center. 

The four-star hotel operated by Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts hosts 277 guest rooms and retail stores, and has 142 luxury condominiums on the upper floors. 

Non-linear viscous dampers located at the top of the hotel tower help dampen some of the wind sway due to powerful winds off the Pacific Ocean. Completed in January 2001, the tower is the first skyscraper in the 21st century to be completed in the city.

 

The Spa, located in the Sports Club/LA, is accessed from the fourth floor of the Hotel. Choose from an array of full-service spa options designed to soothe and pamper, including massage, reflexology, medical rejuvenation therapies, aromatherapy, peels, wraps, manicures and pedicures. Sports Club/LA welcomes guests aged 16 years and older.
