InterContinental Mark Hopkins

A landmark since it opened to great fanfare in 1926, the InterContinental Mark Hopkins resides on Nob Hill near Union Square, Chinatown, three cable car lines, and the Financial District. Renovated in 2000, the Mark Hopkins appeals to planners looking for classic luxury and modern amenities for their high-end business meetings or corporate events. Its 20 meeting rooms encompass 19,000 square feet, well-suited to large banquets or incentive events.

The hotel's 382 rooms and 33 suites have a neoclassical design, and feature gold and cream tones with Italian marble bathrooms and Frette bathrobes. California cuisine tops the menu choices at the hotel's Nob Hill Restaurant, while the legendary Top of the Mark cocktail lounge—once popular with soldiers bidding adieu to the States during World War II—offers 360-degree views of the City by the Bay.
