Chinatown

Travel San Francisco California and pay a visit to the oldest and one of the largest Chinatowns in North America a mere three blocks from Hotel 480.  Established in the 1850s, this colorful and lively district begins at the intersection of Grant Avenue and Bush Street, welcoming visitors with an ornate dragon-crested gate, a gift from the Republic of China in 1969.

With limited parking in the area, guests of our San Francisco luxury hotel have the option to walk to this vibrant district from our hotel without worrying about parking hassles. Stroll along an eight-block stretch of Grant Avenue as you peruse the specialty shops brimming with herbal medicines, souvenirs and gifts.

Enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine and unique delicacies in a multitude of restaurants and eateries. Take time to stop at the fish markets and restaurants on Stockton Street or enjoy bustling Portsmouth Square where people can be seen practicing Tai Chi or playing Chinese chess.
