    Sheraton


    The newly renovated Sheraton Fisherman’s Wharf Hotel has been transformed into a great meeting destination. Open spaces, like the communal lobby and outdoor area with its fire pits and outdoor seating, make our hotel an undiscovered gathering place in San Francisco for both corporate and social events. Our meeting space now includes the 2,463-square foot Embarcadero Room which features natural light and a unique foyer with access to the outdoor living room and fire pits. In addition, the original meeting space, including the 2,278-square foot Presidio Ballroom, the 2,196-square foot Marina Ballroom, and two breakout rooms have been completely renovated to reflect the new fresh and vibrant design. An outdoor courtyard adjacent to the Marina Ballroom will be completely re-landscaped with the addition of a central grass lawn encompassed by dwarf palm trees. From the vibrant design of our event space to the resort-like feel of our outdoor areas, and the welcoming atmosphere of our newly renovated guest rooms, you will find everything you need for an exceptional meeting, event, or wedding.

    To book your next event at the Sheraton Fisherman’s Wharf Hotel, please contact Darlene.Plamenco@ihrco.com and mention NSMN.
