What to Do

  • The square is surrounded by luxury retailers such as Tiffany, Saks, Swarovski, Vera Wang, Macy’s, Nordstrom, and Chanel, with the iconic hotel dating back to 1904. However, if you’re looking for more reasonably priced shops and restaurants, you’ll find them tucked away in the side streets. Additionally, a variety of hotels are nearby, along with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SF MOMA).
