To escape the bustle of the city, take a day trip (or longer if you are able) to Yosemite National Park. It's a long day but one of the most sensational days I've ever had. The memories of this astounding place live with me every day and I'm planning my next trip to do some serious hiking! Awesome - the highlight of our trip to the city.
Driving distance from San Francisco is approximately four hours;

Hotel Diva, just off Union Square, is a fantastic place to rest after a hard day's street pounding. Really helpful concierge service, no restaurant but so close to the centre that it isn't a problem, and beautifully designed rooms like a 1920s ocean liner (with magnificent headboards).
