The SoMa district connects downtown San Francisco to UCSF Mission Bay. It is a huge district which spans the blocks from the San Francisco Ferry Building on the Embarcadero to the Giants' ball park; to Eleventh Street below the Design Center to the Civic Center. Formerly the City’s industrial area, SoMa began to evolve in the early 1970’s with the development of the Moscone Convention Center at Third and Mission.
Now vibrant and eclectic because of the patchwork of converted warehouses, nightclubs, art spaces, lofts, and hip restaurants, SoMa has recently become one of San Francisco’s liveliest districts. The area’s daytime office, design and retail population creates activity almost around the clock.
Hotel SoMa | 690 Fifth St | San Francisco, CA
Hotel SoMa at the corner of 5th and Townsend in the South of Market district will embody the best of SoMa’s eclectic character and design.
Built in a scale and style appropriate to the neighborhood, the hotel will include 64 guestrooms and two suites with state of the art business amenities and finely crafted modern furnishing from nearby SoMa furniture dealers. The hotel will have a restaurant/bar on the ground level designed to be the core community gathering place for the surrounding district.
Hotel SoMa is positioned to serve the business and residential area around it, which includes San Francisco’s Design District, the Potrero Hill neighborhood, Moscone Convention Center, the nearby Stem Cell Research Facility and UCSF Mission Bay. As a more intimate alternative to larger corporate hotels, Hotel SoMa will also attract the style-minded leisure visitor who wants to be close to San Francisco’s nearby arts districts, which include SFMOMA, downtown galleries, and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, as well as the prestigious California College of the Arts and the independent galleries around Mission Street.
Hotel SoMa, conveniently accessible to major freeways and the Bay, will also encourage alternative transportation. Bicycle rentals, local transit, and the Caltrain station across Townsend Street will provide convenient options to visitors.
