This is beautiful palace to see in the Marina District. Lots of a great restaurants and shops on Lombard street to check out as well.
There are many good seafood restaurants by Fisherman's Wharf. While you are there, Ghirardelli Square is close by and the Buena Vista is where they make Irish Coffees. Nearby is Pier 39 where there are many tourist shops and entertaining street performers. Perfect for kids and parents alike.
Walking distance from the hotel is Union Square with lots of shopping and restaurants. A few minutes walk from there is Chinatown. It is a very interesting neighborhood with many shops and good, inexpensive chinese restaurants. Next door to Chinatown, North Beach is the old Italian district which is known for pleasurable walking streets and wonderful restaurants. If not up for a meal, make a pit stop in an Italian cafe for a coffee and pastery. It makes a wonderful memory.
