THINGS TO DO IN THE BAY AREA
Whether you’re flying into SFO and staying close to the action in San Francisco, or coming in through OAK and settling into the East Bay first, I’ve put together a list of 16 nearby hotels across both sides of the Bay to suit every style and budget. From boutique and luxurious to solid and well-priced — there’s something for everyone within easy reach of 111 Minna Gallery.
Hotels are listed by area and approximate distance from the venue, with estimated nightly rates to help you find your perfect fit.
A few things to keep in mind before you book:
Rates vary by travel date, room type, and availability — what you see today may shift.
Prices listed are per night estimates and do not include taxes or fees.
Book early. The Bay fills up fast and you deserve the room you actually want.
Always check each hotel’s website directly for current pricing, amenities, and cancellation policies.
If none of these feel like a good fit, feel free to book your stay somewhere that feels more your speed. Airbnb or Vrbo are also options you can explore.
