Parc 55 Wyndham San Francisco - Union Square

Feast your eyes on the Golden Gate – or a flock of pink flamingos.

There is a stunning array of things to do while you are our guest at the Wyndham Parc 55 San Francisco hotel. And even first-time visitors to San Francisco will recognize so many of our famous landmarks. Visit 210-foot-tall Coit Tower, see the one-of-a-kind Golden Gate Bridge – or tour Alcatraz Island. Stop by the De Young Museum or the Legion of Honor, made even more famous by Hitchcock's film Vertigo. Great shopping is all around town but the quaint shops of Union Square are just a short stroll away. Or hop on a cable car and head over to Fisherman's Wharf to see all the excitement. Football fans will want to watch the 49ers in action at our own Candlestick Park. Kids will love seeing the San Francisco Zoo or experiencing the four-story rain forest at California Academy of Science. For some grown-up fun, try an afternoon of wine tasting in Napa Valley; it's only about an hour's drive from the city.
