Location:

Hotel Spero, 405 Taylor Street, San Francisco Reservations: call 800-380-6852 and use the group “2024 Diplomacy Tournament”. The room rate is $149/night and the guest amenities fee should be waived. The hotel is very close to the Market & Taylor BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) stop, which should be convenient for locals and folks coming from the airport; it is also a ~20 minute walk from the end of the Caltrain line (4th & King). We can also help with airport pick-ups if needed. There is pay lot next door to the hotel if you are driving in.
