White Swan Inn The Experience Union Square, San Francisco
Bed & breakfast lovers flock to this famed small inn not far from Union Square, Nob Hill, and Chinatown. With a strong English flavor - including all kinds of British collectibles - you'll swear you've landed in London.
One of the favorite pastimes of guests is to linger after the abundant homemade gourmet breakfast in the living room or parlour (both of which have fireplaces) reading a book, leisurely sharing stories with other guests about their travels around town, or enjoying a complimentary glass of wine and hors d'oeuvres served each evening. Each guest room has its own fireplace and a quaint elegance that is rarely found in modern boutique hotels.
Here are a few suggestions to enhance your experience while staying with us.

This is almost ground zero for the culinary artistry that is bubbling up in the Mission District.
While there are some downtown spots to catch high tea, there's nothing more urbane and charming as Lovejoy's Tea Room out in the Mission District.
Completed in 1791 and having survived four major earthquakes, this splendid adobe mission is the oldest building in San Francisco.
The square is in the heart of Italian North Beach and the site of frequent arts shows, demonstrations, and communal tai chi classes.
In picturesque Potrero Hill, you'll find a teddy bear factory that's oozing cute. You get to tour the sewing and cutting area and then stuff your very own bear. Talk about a great souvenir to take home!
