Practical notes for Data + AI Summit week
- Moscone Center has three halls, each with its own entrance: - South Hall: entrance on Howard Street, the closest point from all five hotels on this list - North Hall: entrance on Howard Street, across from South Hall - West Hall: 800 Howard Street, at the corner of Fourth Street
- Data + AI Summit runs June 21-24, 2027 at Moscone. San Francisco mornings that month are cool, so a light layer covers the walk.
- Snowflake Summit is also at Moscone Center, on June 7-10, 2027, two weeks earlier.
- Moscone has no on-site parking for attendees. All five hotels have valet or a garage nearby, but you're walking distance from the halls, so a car mostly adds cost.
- The nearest Muni Metro and BART stops are Powell Street and Montgomery Street stations, each about a 5-to-8-minute walk from the hotels on this list.
The walk from each hotel to Data + AI Summit
All five are within a 5-minute walk of Moscone. The closer ones just mean fewer street crossings at rush hour.
- W San Francisco (181 3rd St): Exit and turn left on 3rd Street to reach the Moscone North entrance in under 2 minutes.
- St. Regis (125 3rd St): At 3rd and Mission, a block north of the W, then a short walk down 3rd Street to the South Hall entrance.
- Canopy by Hilton (250 4th Street): Walk up 4th Street to Howard in about 3 minutes.
- Hyatt Regency (50 3rd St): At the corner of 3rd and Mission, a 4-minute walk south along 3rd.
- InterContinental (888 Howard Street): It faces Howard Street. Cross the street to reach the South Hall entrance in 5 minutes.
What sets each hotel apart for Data + AI Summit attendees
W San Francisco is the closest property on this list at 0.08 miles, so it's the one to book if you want to dash back to your room between sessions. The hotel's event spaces also suit smaller team gatherings during the summit.
The St. Regis San Francisco carries the highest guest score here and the only 5-star rating, worth it if your company covers premium travel. At 0.12 miles, the walk to Moscone is nearly identical to the W.
Canopy by Hilton San Francisco SoMa is a newer build on 4th Street and the most accessible price point among the five. You get a 3-minute walk and an 8.6 guest score for less than the St. Regis or InterContinental.
Hyatt Regency San Francisco Downtown SOMA is at the corner of 3rd and Mission and draws the largest volume of guest reviews on this list, reflecting consistent performance across a wide range of travelers. The 4-minute walk to Moscone is straightforward.
InterContinental San Francisco by IHG faces Howard Street, which runs along the south side of Moscone Center. The walk is a direct line across the street. It also has a pool and spa, which you'll appreciate after a long day of sessions. For teams needing meeting rooms, the InterContinental and St. Regis are the strongest options on this list.
