Romantic, elegant, historic, innovative - all words to describe San Francisco, the City by the Bay.  Marked by its illustrious Golden Gates, famously steep hills, picturesque Victorian architecture, historic cable cars and of course Ghirardelli Square, San Francisco is consistently the most visited city in the US.

Today, the San Francisco Bay Area remains as innovative as ever, having established itself as truly one of the world's most popular cities. Boasting a world-renowned symphony, ballet and opera that just touch upon its vibrant arts scene, San Franciscans truly take pride in their cultural heritage.  Whether you enjoy spending your time sailing on the bay, visiting the local farmer's market or dining at one of the countless number of fine dining establishments… just steps from Ghirardelli Square’s waterfront homes, anything you could possibly want is literally at your fingertips.  Beyond the energy of the city and sweeping Bay Area views, San Francisco offers easy access to an array of wonderful destinations: the expansive vineyards in Wine Country, the dramatic cliffs of Big Sur, and the majestic mountains surrounding Lake Tahoe.

Ghirardelli Square, one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s most treasured icons, has been a beacon of trade and commerce for most of its colorful history. A marketplace, a gathering place - a destination - for locals and visitors alike who come to share and celebrate in its iconic tradition.  Built as an illustrious chocolate factory in 1893, listed on the National Historic Register in 1982 and now a newly transformed retail oasis Ghirardelli Square now boasts a new name for the first time in its rich history: Home.
