8.8 Rating (859 Reviews)
0.3 miles from Moscone Center
2 New Montgomery St, San Francisco, CA 94105
Built in 1875, the Garden Court glass ceiling still stops first-time visitors mid-sentence. Beneath that history: 53,000 sq ft of event space, an indoor pool, and the kind of gravitas that makes client dinners feel like occasions rather than obligations.
