Practical notes for summit week
- Moscone Center has three halls. The South Hall entrance on Howard Street is the closest point from all five hotels on this list.
- Data + AI Summit typically runs in June. San Francisco mornings that month average 55°F to 58°F, so a light layer covers the walk.
- Snowflake Summit often runs the same week in June. If your company attends both, confirm which venue your team needs before booking.
- Moscone has no on-site parking for attendees. All five hotels offer valet or nearby garages, but driving adds cost and time that walking eliminates.
- The nearest Muni Metro stops are Powell Street and Montgomery Street stations on the F, J, K, L, M, N, and T lines, each about a 5-to-8-minute walk from the hotels on this list.
