Lodging and accommodations

If you are traveling from out of town, we recommend that you make arrangements as far in advance as possible because San Francisco hotels tend to be busy. When booking, inquire about UCSF discounts or special rates that are available at some establishments. We are situated on the Mission Bay campus, between the neighborhoods of Mission Bay and Dogpatch. However, mainland San Francisco is just 46.88 square miles, and with the city's ubiquitous app-based taxi services, reliable public transportation system, and car friendly roads, getting to our center should be a breeze from anywhere in the city. We have compiled a list of resources below to help you plan for your stay. If you have specific questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected]
