The View Lounge

The 14 Best Hotel Bars Worth a Visit in San Francisco | Eater SF

"The View may feel supremely dated in some ways and doesn’t offer anything special, drinks-wise, but that is not the point. The lounge areas inside the top floor of the jukebox-topped Marriott offer uniquely stunning sunset and nighttime views of San Francisco and all its hills, bridges, and freeways. It’s too gorgeous of a vantage point to be reserved for tourists alone, made more unique because the windows are as tall as they are wide. The move is to order something simple, pay more for it than you think you should, and spend an hour or two just watching the sun sink lower on the horizon." - Dianne de Guzman
