Immerse yourself in the heart of the city at The InterContinental® San Francisco hotel. Our prime location in the heart of San Francisco, near Moscone Center and Union Square, allows you to explore the city’s culture and charm while enjoying elegantly appointed rooms and luxurious amenities. Host your next event in our beautifully customizable meeting rooms and ballroom, while an elevated dining experience awaits you at our Michelin-starred Luce restaurant and Bar 888 Grappa and Wine Bar. Nestled in the heart of San Francisco’s vibrant SoMa district, the InterContinental San Francisco rises like a sleek, modern sapphire against the city skyline, its shimmering blue-glass façade reflecting the Bay Area’s ever-changing light. Opened in 2008, the hotel immediately became a landmark of contemporary luxury in a city that effortlessly blends Gold Rush history with cutting-edge innovation. Just steps from Moscone Center and a short stroll from Union Square, the Yerba Buena Gardens, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, it places guests at the perfect crossroads where San Francisco’s artistic soul, tech-driven energy, and multicultural spirit converge. The surrounding streets hum with the aroma of freshly baked sourdough drifting from nearby Boudin, the chatter of languages from around the world, and the occasional foghorn echoing from the Bay, reminding everyone that this is unmistakably San Francisco.
Walking into the soaring six-story lobby feels like stepping into an elegant, light-filled atrium where California minimalism meets understated opulence. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the space in natural light, while local artwork and subtle nods to the city’s maritime and Victorian heritage create a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. The guest rooms, dressed in soothing coastal tones with pops of gold and crimson, offer panoramic views that stretch from the Bay Bridge to the downtown towers, turning every sunrise and twinkling night skyline into a private show. The Michelin-starred Luce restaurant celebrates Northern California’s bounty with inventive dishes that honor the region’s farm-to-table legacy, while Bar 888 has mastered the art of the craft cocktail, especially those featuring small-batch California spirits and Grgich Hills wines. On the sixth floor, the indoor lap pool and serene spa provide a tranquil escape after a day exploring the nearby Ferry Building Marketplace or riding a cable car up Nob Hill. For anyone craving a luxurious base that feels deeply connected to San Francisco’s past, present, and forward-looking spirit, the InterContinental San Francisco delivers an experience that is as sophisticated as it is warmly inviting.
