Luxury hotel accommodations can be found at a cosmopolitan boutique hotel that offers immediate access to all this area of town serves up. Stretching from Embarcadero to Eleventh Street between Market and Townsend, South of Market unlocks a playground that will tempt children, sports fans, shopaholics and those who like to see and be seen.
Surprisingly, SoMa was not always the sought-after part of town it is currently. In fact, its legacy stems from the “wrong side of the tracks” (cable car tracks, that is). Originally home to industrial factories, anonymous warehouses and low-income gold rush immigrants, SoMa was nicknamed "South of the Slot."
Thanks to a history of continued revitalization, including the rapid renovations of the Dot-Com boom and the San Francisco Giants ballpark, South of Market has quickly become the place for business and pleasure.
Moscone Convention Center
One of the most well-known places in San Francisco, Moscone Convention Center hosts countless conventions, tradeshows, banquets and meetings in San Francisco. Boutique hotel accommodations in the immediate SoMa district are often preferred because of their convenience to Moscone. In addition to drawing an endless stream of professionals to the events hosted at Moscone, the center also delivers some fun activities in a rather unusual setting: the roof.
The Rooftop at the Gardens includes "Zeum" learning museum for kids of all ages, a year-round ice skating rink, a bowling center, gardens, a labyrinth made of hedges, a play circle with a tube slide, outdoor amphitheater, a beautifully restored 1906 carousel and much more.
The 12-square-block area surrounding the Moscone Convention Center is referred to as Yerba Buena Gardens. Here, you'll also find a sculpture garden and wall as well as the MLK memorial waterfall fountain, all of which present some of the most interesting designs in San Francisco.
Luxury hotel accommodations in the SoMa district will also give you convenient access to the new Westfield Centre and Sky Terrace.
Westfield Shopping Centre
With 385 upscale stores, including anchors Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's, 33 restaurants, a movie theater and an events venue, Westfield Shopping Centre certainly qualifies as more than just "a mall." Two of its most prominent features are the indoor and outdoor event settings.
Under the Dome is an indoor venue capped with an historic 1908 steel and stained-glass dome, perfect for family gatherings, holiday parties or business events such as exhibits. With 3,700 square feet, Under the Dome can host up to 300 guests.
Sky Terrace, located rooftop, boasts spectacular sky views overlooking the dome. Interesting and elegant, Sky Terrace is an excellent choice for weddings, parties and other gatherings of importance. It also hosts up to 300 guests.
From its location near the Giants ballpark and financial district, to the abundance of sites, restaurants and tourist attractions, South of Market is a premier place to stay while visiting San Francisco and the Bay area.
