Movie buffs should jump at the chance to visit the setting for one of Hitchcock's most famous movies. The York Hotel gained fame for being the setting for the thriller, Vertigo.

Sitting along Nob Hill, the hotel is just a short walk from things such Union Square, the Financial District, theaters, high end shopping and gourmet restaurants. To make things even better the hotel is just three blocks from a cable car line which makes it easy to get around the city. For those that are looking to get out and enjoy a little fun in the sun the hotel is 10 miles from things such as rollerblading, kayaking, biking and fishing. The Presidio Golf Course is just two miles away and is perfect for those duffers that are dying to hit the links.

Originally a speakeasy, the hotel still maintains a reputation for serving up some of the best martinis around as well as featuring a cabaret style show that is so highly regarded that it attracts performers from all across the country.

When it comes to food you have a variety of options to choose from. You can start the day with the free complimentary breakfast or go ahead and hit the web and search for places to eat that are close by. The hotel is just minutes from restaurants that serve up everything from sushi all the way to steak.

Each of the guestrooms come furnished with wireless Internet access, in-room safes, coffeemakers, wet bars and data ports. For those that wish to upgrade to a Superior King Room, you get the added bonus of a flat-screen TV.

If you are looking for a little bit of movie history behind it, the York Hotel is exactly what you have been looking for.
