Hey Traveler. I Love San Francisco. I've been there twice. Those foggy San Fran mornings were classic. I've stayed at the Embarcadero and the St. Francis hotels. Very nice indeed.
My father in law, and my father both remarried at the church on the Presidio, and later my late husband and I got married there. We stayed a night at the accommodations there before flying out the next night to honeymoon in Greece. We actually met on a shuttle bus going from Northern California to the VA Hospital at the Presidio.
So glad you went to the national cemetery there. My wife’s gr-grandad is buried there, in the ellipse. He led the 30th Inf. Division in WWI and commanded the Hawaiian Department after the war. He was stationed at the Presidio many times, and loved being there. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Mann_Lewis
Even though I live here, I found this a fascinating video. You also have the uncanny knack of mapping your videos with the most appropriately atmospheric music. Hitchcock would give you a favorable nod. I thought your Namibia videos were a summit of your achievement. I return to them frequently. You are a wonder.
San Francisco definitely has its problems but it is still one of the most beautiful cities in the country. I recently came back from a visit and I found the streets clean and people out shopping and enjoying the stunning views. Yes... there are too many mentally ill and homeless people wandering but in general, I found the city is mostly back. The food was amazing and I enjoyed all the distinct neighborhoods with their own unique character and residents.
What, Dr. LTE?? You were in town and didn't let me know? I could have joined you for cocktails and enjoyed the lovely view of the GG Bridge with you! If you stand in the middle of the bridge, facing east and look across the Bay, you will see a hill close to the Bay. I live about 1/2 mile behind that hill. In any event, I enjoyed seeing what has occurred at the Presidio during the many years since I last visited. Sometimes it takes an out-of-towner to show you what's so close to home. Hope you enjoyed our refreshing fog and the Pacific Ocean.
I like when designers exercise restraint when dealing with a historic place. They managde to honor the military past of those buildings whilst making them comfortable for patrons today. It seems like a very nice place to visit and spend some free time
I was stationed at the Presidio in 1966-1967, my last year in the Armey. The room number 218 was a Sergeants sleeping quarters I shared with another Sergeant. Although the room seems much smaller than what I remember, that tour brought back a lot of memories. Grateful!!
As Mark Twain is often quoted as saying "the coldest winter i ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco". San Francisco is really a beautiful city. I often visited the Presidio, but never stayed there.
Love it. Can't tell you why, but I do! Maybe it's the staying true to its history ... Does a hotel group run this? Or does the parks system? Loved the bugle display. I could hear the drill Sargents now .... and, all the lives resting on the decisions made in the rooms (offices) that held a fireplace .... the military vehicles coming and going. Also ... can hear Tony Bennett singing about where he left his heart ❤️ .... !! Nice trip down memory lane, dear LTE!! Also loved the music! And the submarine sculpture ....
apart from the wonderful views you showcased here and the comprehensive review of the hotel, I have one question: do you happen to know the bike model your son was riding? I love it, looks so elegant, yet sporty. Anyways, love your video, hope to someday pay a visit to San Francisco and stay at the Presidio
In 1990, my final outprocessing from the Army was at that location. There are other former Army posts that have repurposed buildings into hotels. One is the former FT Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis. The hotel there, like the one at the Presidio, has a distinctly Army feel to it but is very clean & sparse with a bit of cozy thrown in.
Doctor..this was really well done...we got a real sense of the place and surrounding sights...thanks again for these beautiful videos..bring on Tahiti and Bora Bora!..🙂♥️
SF Native here, I loved your presentation! Calming music, smooth and slow camera work, and no talking! What I love so much about the structures in the Presidio is the care that renovators took to preserve the buildings and keeping them as original as possible. I live very close to Presidio and spend lots of time there but have never been inside either of the hotels so thanks for sharing! 👏🏽
The designers did very well translating a bureaucratic workspace into a luxury venue! The history of the building alone would be worth the price of admission. And that room view is priceless!
are you going to do a video on Cavallo Point Lodge which is directly across the bay and has views of the entire city? the rooms are wither newer condos OR the old 2-story houses with sun porches all surrounding a huge main lawn on the beach. GO CHECK IT OUT! And while in town go to ARSICAULT BAKERY for the best croissant and savory scone in America!!
We visit San Francisco all the time as Bay Area residents. The Presidio is our go to place, I’m soo happy it got some recognition. Thank you for visiting!!!
I must say it has to take a certain amount of skill to make such a huge apartment look like a university dormitory. 😂😂. This has to be the ugliest luxury room.
great to see you in my home state mr. Expert! San Francisco and the Bay Area brings back so many childhood memories for me. Hope to see you at the Aman Beverly Hills in 2026 if you come back to California again!
An interesting historical experience more than just a regular hotel staying. Plus , you wonderfully captured all the natural beauty surrounding the hotel and the legendary bridge. Todays video was one of your rarest different touch and I admire it. Thank you for all the effort 🙏🏼
Why doesn't Mayor Breed put some of the homeless in these hotel rooms for an extended stay? Im sure they'd love the views of the Golden Gate bridge and the wine and cheese reception.
It is like being there. Unfortunately in 2020 we had to cancel our trip to California due to Covid. Watching your video encourages me to think about this again. Many thanks! 🙏
little boutique hotels can be fun, cause they can be more intimate and pay closer attention to detail and maybe have a more personalized service and experience.
I like this hotel rooms, it is really bright, elegant decoration, one of the comfortable room to stay in. And Golden Bridge, such a pleasure to ride a bike, there... Thank you, Expert.
Wonderful video once again❤ I would like to ask if you’re planning on going to japan anytime soon? I’m planning on going sometime next year and am wondering if you’ll have any updated hotel tours by that time
Super Thanks and we need and wish 8K Photos or videos in Real Best 8K 60fps or 120fps HDR10+ resolution clarity quality and Sound in full HD 3D Stereo Surround , Soon Please.
Some time later watching the expert you'll realize there are more classes of hotels. 5-star, like Hilton and Marriott and so on. And something above, like Aman, Rocco Forte etc.
Hello. Thank-you for your new video. I enjoyed this video. This is beautiful place, and this historic hotel is nice ! Your traveling video everytime is nice. I love your channel.
"...a navy-hued carpet..." And not a bit of O D Green to be seen! Oh, my goodness. How the world has changed since the 1960's. Thank you, Doctor, for a wonderful journey!
Did you know that the bridge used to have a lower layer too, for trains? My cousin was driving over the bridge in her car when the big earthquake hit (1989) - that was quite traumatic. I love the park and the atmospheric images but they can keep their fog, thank you very much. Every day around 3 PM it came rolling in over the bay, making it humid and chilly. I think I prefer the Maldives and Tahiti ;-)
Очень красивые виды вокруг. Сам отель - ничего особенного. Вид из окна не только на мост, но и на промышленные здания и на шоссе. Как вишенка на торте - неудобная ванная с намертво вмонтированном в стену душем. Снаружи лучше, чем внутри.
It’s really lovely to see these kids grow up. I can’t remember if they are your nieces and nephews or kids of friends. Very lucky to have such an adventurous uncle
San Francisco is one of the most stunning cities in the nation with magnificent views everywhere you go around the city. I love San Francisco!

No one cannot say your work is not the best on u tube. Thank u.WITHOUT SAYING A WORD

Great tour. I love San Francisco. 👍
You just really have that talent to make me want to visit those places you've been.
What a terrific video! Such a wonderful job capturing this truly gorgeous place in America’s most beautiful city. Thank you.
I lived in the Bay Area for more than 20 years. The Presidio never looked like this. What an awesome renovation.
I was stationed at the Presidio in 1966-1967, my last year in the Armey. The room number 218 was a Sergeants sleeping quarters I shared with another Sergeant. Although the room seems much smaller than what I remember, that tour brought back a lot of memories. Grateful!!
We’ll this is certainly a lot different from all the other places you’ve stayed at… but I sure do love that view
As Mark Twain is often quoted as saying "the coldest winter i ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco". San Francisco is really a beautiful city. I often visited the Presidio, but never stayed there.
Congrats on d million followers,well deserved.
Nice video ,as always👍

Fun
From high end army barracks to a luxury set of hotels-inns
Who knew ?
THANKYOU for showing
We visit San Francisco all the time as Bay Area residents. The Presidio is our go to place, I’m soo happy it got some recognition. Thank you for visiting!!!
No, haven’t stayed there. But I’d been to the Walt Disney Family Museum located in the about 300’ away many years ago.
Have a beautiful day Sunday ❤️
Very interesting place. Bravo.
I must say it has to take a certain amount of skill to make such a huge apartment look like a university dormitory. 😂😂. This has to be the ugliest luxury room.
But the view! 8:24
great to see you in my home state mr. Expert! San Francisco and the Bay Area brings back so many childhood memories for me. Hope to see you at the Aman Beverly Hills in 2026 if you come back to California again!
SPECTACULAR VIEWS!! FRESH OCEAN BREEZE!! BEAUTIFUL WELL KEPT HISTORICAL LANDMARKS & YOGI BEAR PARKS!😀
Very peaceful. I like it. 👌👌👌
An interesting historical experience more than just a regular hotel staying. Plus , you wonderfully captured all the natural beauty surrounding the hotel and the legendary bridge. Todays video was one of your rarest different touch and I admire it. Thank you for all the effort 🙏🏼
Very well done!
I always wanted to explore that area, but never had the time while visiting SF.
Why doesn't Mayor Breed put some of the homeless in these hotel rooms for an extended stay? Im sure they'd love the views of the Golden Gate bridge and the wine and cheese reception.
❤ interesting!
It is like being there. Unfortunately in 2020 we had to cancel our trip to California due to Covid. Watching your video encourages me to think about this again. Many thanks! 🙏
I'm opting in for the Expert showing all room categories in a hotel or resort review... Upvote this if you also mean he should do this.
little boutique hotels can be fun, cause they can be more intimate and pay closer attention to detail and maybe have a more personalized service and experience.
De Vivaldi regering samen op de pier in SF 🙂
💛 all your video's bro 👍.
I like this hotel rooms, it is really bright, elegant decoration, one of the comfortable room to stay in.
And Golden Bridge, such a pleasure to ride a bike, there... Thank you, Expert.
Wonderful video once again❤ I would like to ask if you’re planning on going to japan anytime soon? I’m planning on going sometime next year and am wondering if you’ll have any updated hotel tours by that time
Unfortunately, not any time soon
Beautiful video 👍👍
A much more low-key hotel, compared to some of the ones you've been to with gilt-encrusted furnishings and appurtenances.
7:28 How much does it cost to open Maker's Mark?
Wooow!, I can't wait for Bora Bora 🍿
What a charming place. I love SF and the bay area. You did it right with this video.
Love this amaxing video
Super Thanks and we need and wish 8K Photos or videos in Real Best 8K 60fps or 120fps HDR10+ resolution clarity quality and Sound in full HD 3D Stereo Surround , Soon Please.
bora bora seems to be a great competitor to Soneva from the maldives.
1903 Historical Building?!😂😂😂
Some time later watching the expert you'll realize there are more classes of hotels. 5-star, like Hilton and Marriott and so on. And something above, like Aman, Rocco Forte etc.
Hello. Thank-you for your new video. I enjoyed this video.
This is beautiful place, and this historic hotel is nice !
Your traveling video everytime is nice. I love your channel.
Yay! Finally, America. 🙄 California here we come! I am going to assume/predict that you'll be visiting the new Aman properties in Utah and New York. 😉
"...a navy-hued carpet..." And not a bit of O D Green to be seen! Oh, my goodness. How the world has changed since the 1960's. Thank you, Doctor, for a wonderful journey!
next please!

I drove by yesterday- wondering how is it inside…. Did you hi to Cavallo Point? That one is almost under the Golden Gate
Beautiful with gorgeous views and the area looks so immaculate
May I ask what camera you are using ?
iPhone
Far away from the drug addicts and homeless in downtown San Francisco
The Walt Disney family museum is located at the presidio. (Walt Disney was stationed there during WW1)
He was? I didn’t know that. Thanks for telling me this

When did you take this trip?
Few weeks ago
But did you pet the Golden Retriever?
S U B T Í T U L O S !!!!!!!
It’s really lovely to see these kids grow up. I can’t remember if they are your nieces and nephews or kids of friends. Very lucky to have such an adventurous uncle
