Where to Stay
San Francisco is relatively easy to get around, so feel free to stay wherever sounds good to you. Most neighborhoods are a short trip from both City Hall and Penny Roma. We'd recommend the areas below since they have plenty of hotel options, but Airbnbs and Vrbos throughout the city are also a great alternative.
The Financial District and North Beach sit near the Embarcadero and the Ferry Building, about 15–20 minutes from City Hall. Hotel options in the area include The Battery, the Hyatt Regency, and the University Club of SF.
Nob Hill and Polk Street, about 10–15 minutes from City Hall, is the closest neighborhood to the venue and a popular area with plenty to see and do. A great option there is the Fairmont San Francisco.
For a more laid-back, historic feel close to Golden Gate Park, Haight-Ashbury is about 15–20 minutes away. Both The Grove Inn and Beck's Motor Lodge are in the area.
Other neighborhoods worth a look include Hayes Valley and the Mission.
