The Westin St. Francis is part of the Union Square Alliance.

The San Francisco Travel Association is introducing the San Francisco Meeting Neighborhood Network Connections — hotels and venues in unique parts of the city that work together to offer greater amounts of meeting spaces and guest rooms than a single hotel can provide.

With the Meeting Neighborhood Network Connections, planners can essentially create micro-citywide conventions and events.

“While Moscone Center is being expanded, San Francisco has increased hotel availability for 2016, 2017 and 2018. With the Neighborhood Network Connections, meeting planners can find flexible meeting space and accommodations for up to 2,500 on peak nights,” said Joe D’Alessandro, president and CEO of the San Francisco Travel Association. “Attendees benefit by having an intimate neighborhood experience with the amenities of a citywide meeting.”

Many of the hotels in the Neighborhood Network Connections are offering hot dates with rates and promotions that will be especially attractive to association, government, corporate and non-corporate groups.

The San Francisco Downtown Connection is comprised of four adjacent hotels (Hilton San Francisco Union Square, Park 55 San Francisco-A Hilton Hotel, the Hotel Nikko San Francisco and the Handlery Union Square Hotel) in the city’s bustling Union Square area. They offer a total of 195,200 sf of function space, 118 meeting rooms, and up to 2,200 rooms on peak nights plus 113 suites.

The Nob Hill Connection offers five luxury hotels (the Fairmont San Francisco, InterContinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco, Stanford Court San Francisco, The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco and the Scarlet Huntington) plus breathtaking views, a serene neighborhood and a central location within the city. Combined with The Masonic, the Nob Hill Connection offers more than 170,000 sf of function space, 70 meeting rooms, up to 1,400 guest rooms on peak night plus 250 suites.

Two of San Francisco’s largest hotels, the Westin St. Francis and the Grand Hyatt San Francisco, comprise the Union Square Alliance, offering 86,000 sf of function space, 34 meeting rooms, up to 1,000 guest rooms on weekdays and 1,200 on weekends plus 77 suites. The hotels are surrounded by some of the city’s top restaurants, theaters and shopping.

Three hotels in the South of Market area (the Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco, San Francisco Marriott Marquis and Park Central Hotel San Francisco) make up the SOMA One Connection. Connected by the Yerba Buena pedestrian zone, SOMA is a seamless indoor/outdoor location in the cultural heart of the city, near the soon-to-reopen San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of the African Diaspora, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and other institutions. This Connection offers 155,000 sf of function space, 2,435 meeting rooms, up to 1,500 guest rooms on peak nights and 206 suites.

More San Francisco Meetings Neighborhood Network Connections are being formed, offering even more opportunities for meetings and events that are intimate yet flexible with lots of neighborhood character.
