The beautiful Hyatt Regency San Francisco is in the
perfect location. Just walk out the door of the hotel and
board the famous California Street Cable Car. The Market
Street Trolley is also just steps from the hotel. One
direction takes you toward Union Square, the Haight or
Castro districts, and the other direction takes you along
the Embarcadero to Fisherman’s Wharf and Ghiradelli
Square. BART is also just steps from the hotel which can
take you quickly over to Oakland and Berkeley.
The daytime average temperature is 62 degrees Fahrenheit
(16 Celsius) with the overnight temperature averaging
49 degrees Fahrenheit (9 Celsius). The chance of
precipitation is about 35 percent. |

Airlines and Airports |
San Francisco is serviced by two airports; one south of
San Francisco and one south of Oakland. The San Francisco
airport is closer to downtown, but only has one
runway and suffers periodically from weather delays.
Oakland tends to be less expensive compared to flying
into San Francisco, and does not tend to have weather
related delays. The Oakland airport shuttle is a little
more expensive and there can be delays crossing the
Bay bridge if you arrive during the morning rush hour
or leave San Francisco during the evening rush hour.
 JetBlue is offering a 5 percent discount on airfares.
