Hi, Gina,
I have an idea for our conference in September in San Francisco. I think the Grand Hotel is perfect!
The hotel is in a convenient location. It’s at 2345 Golden Gate Ave. There’s a subway stop a block
away and a bus stop. There are a lot of shops and restaurants nearby. The San Francisco Museum
of Modern Art is on Second St., a few blocks from there, too.
The hotel has free parking. It has a business center and three large meeting rooms. There’s a pool,
a sauna, and a really good fi tness center. There’s a gift shop and a nice café on the fi rst fl oor.
Let me know if you want more information!
