San Francisco
Park Central Hotel San Francisco
offers travelers two built-in advantages. It’s one of the most scenic
cities in the world and one of the most compact. The Bay is spanned by two landmarks,
the Golden Gate and San Francisco-Oakland Bay bridges, and is graced by four islands,
Alcatraz, Angel, Yerba Buena, and Treasure. Great cleansing drafts from the Pacific wash
the city in all seasons giving it an aura of perpetual spring. Its principal attractions are
the century-old cable cars, Fisherman’s Wharf, Alcatraz, Chinatown, Golden Gate Park,
Mission Dolores, the pagoda-crowned Japan Center, the Victorian shopping sector known
as Cow Hollow, Ocean Beach and Seal Rocks, Union Square, and North Beach. The city
has more restaurants per capita than any other in the U.S. San Francisco also supports an
opera with a glittering tradition, a world-class symphony orchestra, a ballet that has won international acclaim, an annual International Film Festival, four public art museums, dozens
of galleries, and legitimate theaters presenting top offerings from New York, London, and
the local production circuit. The modern San Franciscan’s appetite for cultural phenomena
outside America has fostered a demand for many geographically-disorienting experiences
from heart-stopping Spanish flamenco dance to moody French noir films. San Francisco
lies within easy driving distance to the High Sierra resorts of Lake Tahoe and Yosemite,
the Monterey/Carmel peninsula, California’s wine country, the Redwood Empire, and the
spectacular Mendocino Coast. San Francisco’s visitors have access to a wide range of
sightseeing services, including bus tours, boat tours, museum tours, night club tours, personalized tours, self-guided tours, walking tours, and fishing excursions.
Downtown convenience. Inspired hospitality. Complete comfort. It all comes together at the Park Central San Francisco Hotel.
Located amidst the city’s most popular sights and venues, this renovated hotel offers an oasis of sophistication in the heart of the South of Market district. An artful
blend of style and architecture, it’s only a scenic cable car ride away from Chinatown, Fisherman’s Wharf, and the Alcatraz ferry. Browse the shops and boutiques of
Union Square just steps away and the brand-new Westfield San Francisco Centre.
Immerse yourself in a fantastic array of museums, theaters, and attractions nearby.
Guests can enjoy a restorative workout in the spacious Fitness Center, or meet and
mingle in the relaxed atmosphere of MaSo Bar, Lounge and Terrace while you enjoy
delicious bites from sustainable sources, a local wine, or an innovative cocktail. After a
day of adventure, retire to a comfortable guestroom featuring floor-to-ceiling windows
plus amenities such as a flat-screen television, mini-bar, safe, hair dryer, iron/board and
more. The hotel is located approximately 15 miles from the San Francisco International
Airport (SFO) and 18 miles from the Metropolitan Oakland International Airport (OAK).
HOTEL RATES: A portion of the room rate is used to partially offset the cost of refreshments served during the meeting for participants only. Rates are plus 16.315% tax.
