The W San Francisco's sparkling new East-meet-West renovation of its three story Living Room and each of 410 guest rooms brings new polish to an already iconic property. Set in the city's artsy SoMa neighborhood, yet within walking distance of Union Square shopping, the hotel spoils guests with at heated lap pool, cabana-ringed outdoor terrace, 5,000-square-foot spa, and Paul Piscopo's scrumptious XYZ restaurant.
Meeting planners chose from seven of the W's flexible state-of-the-art meeting rooms and banquet spaces, including a high-tech boardroom totaling 12,000 square feet. Standout spaces include the 3,450 square foot Great Room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a breathtaking 3,500-square-foot terrace overlooking the city. With a dazzling array of special incentives and extras, the W San Francisco easily meets the most demanding meeting challenge.

The conference staff and banquet team are amazing. They truly embody the W theme, whatever/whenever. The meeting rooms are well laid out and the board room is very high tech and sleek. The hotel has very modern decor, the lobby was renovated a few years ago and includes an old school pacman game. The cool atmosphere of the hotel is balanced by the friendliness and warmth of the W team that supports your event. This is a popular spot in downtown San Francisco. The lobby can be loud and one must be prepared to keep an eye out for party crashers during private events. F/B costs are high, cuisine is delicious. The AV team was great, open and honest of all charges and tried to provide the best package option for the meetings needs. If you have a contemporary audience the W Hotel San Francisco is a great option. Trace restaurant has replaced XYZ and is a fresh, farm to table concept serving locally sourced meals.

This uber-modern hotel suited my intimate group perfectly. The location was great! They have a wonderful sitting area, bar and restaurant. The rooms were on the small side, but you are in San Francisco were space is a premium. I am utlizing this property again in 2008, looking forward to a great program.
