About us

The InterContinental San Francisco, a graceful tower of translucent cool-blue, soars 32 stories above the vibrant South of Market (SoMa) neighborhood, and is quickly taking its place among the city’s most admired landmarks. Directly adjacent to the Moscone West Convention Center, the InterContinental San Francisco occupies a strategic location for both business and leisure in America’s most dynamic and beloved city. While its convenience for businesspersons is unrivaled, San Francisco’s newest luxury hotel is also within easy walking distance of premium shopping areas, a diverse collection of trendy and upscale restaurants and bars, and a number of major tourist attractions. The InterContinental San Francisco offers 556 guest rooms, including 15 suites featuring a spectacular duplex Presidential Suite with unrivaled city skyline and bay views. The hotel has an intimate footprint with only 22 guest rooms per floor. The InterContinental's 46,495 square feet of meeting and function space includes 24 meeting rooms on the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th floors, where flexible configurations provide for events requiring 400 to 1,600 square feet. In addition, two spectacular ballrooms are designed to accommodate the most important business, cultural and political events in a city whose legendary civic energy demands the finest amenities. Both the 6,800-square foot Grand Ballroom and 5,600-square foot InterContinental Ballroom can be divided into three smaller rooms to host gatherings up to 1000 people. The hotel's conference and banquet facilities are the most technologically advanced in San Francisco.
