I stayed at the Hotel Kabuki in Japantown and was rather impressed

Don't rent a car? I did when I was there...was great. Didn't use it all the time - caught the bus and cable car a lot, but car gave us the freedom to wander at will...went to Sausilito and a bunch of other places. Depends how long you're going to be there I spose.

The Mandarin Oriental is nice. So is the Mark Hopkins.

Tiburon and the Marine county area are so cool, amazing vietnamese joints and super good burritos

Rent a kayak to get to Yerba Buena island and hike around. Go to Marin Headlands and Point Bonita. Def rent a car for part of the trip.

Here's a tip. Never call it "San Fran".
- or frisco
dasohr - SF is ok, or just "The City"epic_rim

Also, there's no reason to take a cable car to get anywhere - they're slow, filled with tourists and aren't much more than a novelty... unless that's what you want.
- I lived there for 6 years and never took one. So yeah, I agree.monospaced
- i use to take it everyday to and fro work. best way to get from downtown to north beachdasohr

The Triton is nice, affordable, and close enough to Union Square without being in the center of it.

Im actually in sf right now. We are staying at a place we found on craigslist (studio apt.). It is the way to go if you want to be somewhere besides downtown/union square/fishermans warf, whic I would highly recommend. We are in Hayes valley right now, which is pretty much right in the middle of the best parts of the city (in my opinion of course). Tons of great food and great shops, plus only about a mile and a half from golden gate park.

The Fairmont on Union Square is great. You can find really good deals if you book packages or last minute. Great location, beautiful building, great history -- the old portion was one of the few buildings standing after the 1906 quake/fire.
