I just love San Francisco, it has an eclectic mix of Victorian and modern architecture and I especially like the Victorian row houses.  During my last visit, I ventured to iconic Lombard Street as it provides a beautiful vista of the city.  I also meandered through busy Chinatown which is one of the oldest and largest in North America.  I stayed at the Sir Francis Drake boutique hotel which has Renaissance influenced architecture and an interesting mix of antiques and retro pieces.  The rooms have recently been renovated in a traditional style with a regal flourish.
