Plan your visit

Why stay on-site?

  1. You will be right where classes, social dancing, and weekend logistics are happening.

  2. It makes popping upstairs for a reset between classes surprisingly easy.

  3. Staying on-site means more casual hallway hangs, shared meals, and community time.

  4. Evening dances are a lot simpler when your room is just an elevator ride away!

Getting Around

Airport transit

There is no hotel airport shuttle from SFO or OAK, so plan on BART, rideshare, taxi, or another airport transfer option.

Public transit access

The hotel is next to the California cable car line and well placed for getting around San Francisco without a car.

Rideshare and parking

On-site parking is currently listed at $49 per night plus tax with in/out privileges. Garage height is limited to 5'10".

Nearby essentials

You will be close to Nob Hill and Polk Street options for coffee, casual food, and the little things people always need during a dance weekend.
