1. Top of the Mark
Rooftop bar with panoramic views of San Francisco
With a nod from our friends, we eagerly ascended to Top of the Mark following our Cityscape adventure. However, yesterday's visit left us with a different impression. The lack of freedom in choosing our seats was a downside, as seating arrangements were predetermined. Despite this, the venue offers a stunning panoramic view of the city, making it a prime spot to witness breathtaking sunsets. Imbibing on well-crafted cocktails served by attentive and polished staff added a touch of sophistication, which starkly contrasted with the slightly subpar upkeep of the hotel. The only minor setback was the slightly overpowering noise levels which dampened the overall experience.
