This spot is located on top of 2 Embarcadero Center right next to the Fitness SF. During the day there is a lot of foot traffic so you will likely have people in your shot. The evening is much less crowded and a more ideal time to shoot because of the lights. This shot was on a Friday night, but if you can go Monday - Thursday you will likely get more lights on in the buildings because some people will be working late. You will also notice the unique flooring here. This patter is throughout all the embarcadero centers. It really reminds me of the beach front walking paths of Impanema and Copacobana in Rio de Janero.

Mayflower Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for two nights and had a great experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious, with a mini fridge, microwave, sink, and basic dishes. The bathroom was clean and everything worked well. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the continental breakfast included a waffle machine, toast, cereal, hard-boiled eggs, and fresh fruit. We would definitely stay here again."
