To satisfy demand for meetings in San Francisco's thriving South of Market, or SoMa, neighborhood, a new partnership has formed consisting of three hotels and several offsite meeting venues, all of which will collaborate to accommodate large groups requiring up to 1,500 rooms per night in SoMa.
Founding members of the partnership, called SOMA One Connection, are the San Francisco Marriott Marquis, the Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco, and the Park Central San Francisco, A Starwood Hotel. Offsite venues that have joined the partnership, meanwhile, include City View at the Metreon, the Contemporary Jewish Museum, and Yerba Buena Gardens, among several others.
"It's all about offering choices, customization, and convenience to our customers. Three SoMa hotels, representing top hotel brands, have joined forces to simplify the planning process and provide only-in-San Francisco experiences for meetings, events, and exhibitions wanting to meet in SoMa," said Frank Manchen, director of sales and marketing for the San Francisco Marriott Marquis. "SOMA One Connection provides a very appealing one-stop-network of 2,453 guest rooms and suites and flexible indoor and outdoor space to host events for groups of 10 to 2,000 people while the Moscone Convention Center continues to operate during its $500 million expansion. The three hotels alone offer more than 155,000 square feet of function space."
