Before you make your reservation, check the conference program
to determine your arrival/departure dates..
Pre and post conference Institutes start at 8:30am and end
at 5:30pm. We suggest you arrive the night before to be in place
by 8:30am. The airport shuttle takes 45 mins to an hour.

availability on all other nights. See overflow hotel, the Parc 55 below at the same
great $115 s/d rate, available June 28 - July 7.

at the Hilton

Be sure you ask for the "Smart Marriages Conference" rates at the Hilton SF. (Note: there are several Hiltons in the SF area. Our hotel is at
333 O'Farrell St near Union Square
NOT the Hilton in the financial district. Or, call the hotel directly at 415-771-1400.)
Or, book on-line at Hilton
THE PARC 55: This very nice hotel directly across the street from the Hilton is offering
the same $115 single/double; $125 triple; $135 quad conference rates. To obtain this rate,
the Parc 55 requires a minimum two-night stay and a non-refundable two-night deposit. Reserve

SF Hilton Hotel Amenities and Cancellation POLICY:
***All Reservations must guaranteed with a first-night
deposit using a credit card. Your card will be charged for one night
when you make your reservation.
These deposits are refundable if cancellation is made at least 5 days
prior to your scheduled date of arrival.
HOTEL UPGRADE: For an additional $50 a night
you can upgrade to a room above the 35th floor which "guarantees a great view"
and puts you on the Executive level which includes free breakfast in the
morning and hors d'oeuvers in the evening in the Executive lounge on the 45th
floor. This is $50 PER ROOM so includes anyone staying in a double/triple or
quad room. Not sure what I recommend - agree the views ARE spectacular and
the lounge is extremely convenient, BUT the food in the nearby restaurants is
so good that you may not want to eat in this lounge. However, it's also true
that there is no way to gain entry to the lounge unless you have an executive
level room. And to compound things, City Scape restaurant on the very top of
the hotel - on the 46th floor - is closing. The hotel will use that space for
private parties (weddings, etc). So the option to go up there for one meal or
drink to take in the spectacular view is no longer available. The hotel is
also closing most of its restaurants - they say it just doesn't pay: "Everyone
goes across the street to eat where there is great food at NON-hotel prices."
They'll have only two upscale restaurants that will also be open to the public
(open onto the street). They're 'under construction' so I didn't get to see
the space or menus/prices.
If you've already made your reservation, just call and upgrade -800-445-8667
For new reservations, the option is available either online or through the
800#. This by the way, does nothing for Smart Marriages - we don't earn any extra
perks or stars on our forehead. Just do it if you want to. $165 is still
WAY below this hotel's normal rack rate. - diane

Parking is available at the hotel. But we have no conference parking discount this year. SF
wants no cars downtown, they want you to use public transportation. The current rate at the
Hilton is $54 a day (includes tax). There are some public parking garages in the area but
all rates are prohibitive (around $40 a day). We suggest that locals leave their cars in outlying
suburban lots and take trains into the city. We suggest that those that want to see the sights
- wine country, redwoods, hot mineral springs, Yosemite, the coast, etc - rent cars before or after the conference so you don't have to park. Avis, with whom we have a great conf discount, has
a pick-up/drop-off site only 3 blocks from the Hilton.
SF Hilton Health club and outdoor heated pool - complimentary to hotel guests.
Add-on Fusion Spa services include couples side-by-side massages, whirlpool, wraps & scrubs,
facials. Ext 5014 for spa reservations. The hotel is located in the heart of downtown San Francisco just a few blocks from
Union Square and the cable cars.
