September in San Francisco: Sunshine, Shopping & Making Memories at The Handlery Union Square Hotel

If you’ve ever heard that summer in San Francisco starts in September, you’ve heard right.

While much of the country is pulling out sweaters and pumpkin spice, San Francisco is just hitting its stride. September often brings some of our warmest, sunniest days of the year, making it the perfect time to wander the city’s iconic neighborhoods, ride a cable car, explore the waterfront, or simply enjoy a glass of wine while watching the city buzz around you.

At The Handlery Union Square Hotel, we think this is one of the very best times to visit.

One Last Chance for the Macy’s Shopping Experience

If a little retail therapy is on your vacation agenda, don’t miss our Macy’s Shopping Experience package before it wraps up at the end of September.

Located just steps from Union Square and Macy’s iconic San Francisco flagship store, our package makes it easy to turn a city getaway into a shopping adventure. Whether you’re hunting for the perfect outfit, getting a head start on holiday gifts, or simply treating yourself, you’ll enjoy exclusive savings and special guest perks along the way.

After all, carrying shopping bags only counts as exercise if you’re on vacation.

Fleet Week Is Almost Here

October may be just around the corner, but now is the perfect time to start planning for one of San Francisco’s most exciting annual traditions: Fleet Week.

From the breathtaking Blue Angels air show to waterfront celebrations and ship tours, Fleet Week brings an energy to the city that is uniquely San Francisco. Hotels fill quickly, restaurants buzz, and the entire waterfront becomes a front-row seat to the action.

If Fleet Week is on your bucket list, now’s the time to secure your stay.

Park, Stay, and Explore Without the Stress

Let’s be honest: finding parking in San Francisco can sometimes feel like an Olympic sport.

That’s why guests love our Park and Stay Package. Leave the car with us and spend your time enjoying the city instead of circling blocks looking for a parking space.

From Union Square shopping and Chinatown adventures to waterfront strolls and cable car rides, you’ll be perfectly positioned to experience everything that makes San Francisco special.

Four Generations of San Francisco Hospitality

While the city continues to evolve, some things never go out of style.

For four generations, the Handlery family has welcomed visitors from around the world, and we’re proud to continue that tradition at The Handlery Union Square Hotel. Whether you’re visiting for shopping, sightseeing, Fleet Week, or simply a change of scenery, we look forward to making you feel at home in the heart of San Francisco.

September won’t last forever. The sunshine is waiting.

Book your stay today and experience San Francisco at its very best.
