Just Across The Bay From Alcatraz Island

Across the bay from the magnificent Hilton San Francisco Financial District hotel lies a different sort of accommodation altogether. Once home to infamous inmates such as Al Capone, George 'Machine Gun' Kelly and Robert 'The Birdman' Stroud, Alcatraz Island formerly served as the nation's most isolated and highest security prison. Walk past cells where notorious criminals once slept, and learn about the island's occupation by Native Americans during the 1960's. Our downtown accommodations are located just 1.5 miles from Pier 41, where tour boats leave every hour for The Rock.
