The Embarcadero Center dates back to 1971, when the vision was launched for this area to be a vital element of the San Francisco art scene. Fine art in building lobbies and outdoor sculpture were incorporated into the design of the Center’s seven buildings. It’s easy to create your own walking art tour by downloading the sculpture tour map from the Embarcadero Center website. The best part is, many of these sculptures are just a short walk from the Hotel Griffon!
