Streets of San Francisco
Treat your guests to the sights and sounds of the City and its famous multi-cultural heritage. Coit Tower, the Transamerica Pyramid, Fisherman’s Wharf, the beautiful skyline and the Golden Gate Bridge are just a few of San Francisco's experiences we can custom create for your event.
Puttin' on The Ritz
Envelope your guests in high-style with an atmosphere of Art Deco elegance. Hot pink washed walls, silver panels, white Art Deco towers and silver glitter palm leaves create a dynamic backdrop for your big night.
Italian Garden
Channel the romance and wonder of Italy for your next event. Full sized classical statues, tall doric columns and wonderful arches combine with manicured topiary and hedges to create a classic garden. Decorative fountains surrounded with lighted hedges add movement and sound for a dynamic finishing touch.
Ritz-Carlton Elegance
Celebrate in splendor as we bestow the finest touches of The Ritz-Carlton elegance to your event. Tall columns, uplit in salmon, create an entrance to the ballroom, as a three-tier fountain graces the center of The Ballroom. Bowls of peach roses sit atop tables dressed with The Ritz-Carlton's signature cobalt china and glassware.
Alcatraz
Recreate life on "The Rock," The Ritz-Carlton style. Sections of chain link fence create an entrance to The Ballroom and cell bars back the buffet stations. Guard towers with moving, beacon lights watch for escapees. An electric chair surrounded with cell bars provides a humorous photo opportunity.
Awards Night
Lead your guests down the red carpet toward an unforgettable, star-studded evening. Glittered "Oscar" silhouettes stand tall beside a lighted marquee at the entrance to the ballroom, as the Hollywood sign highlights the stage, surrounded by a field of glittering, gold stars.
Camelot
Travel back to a time of majestic luxury as your event is transformed into a celebration fit for kings. Old stone banquet tables hold bountiful buffets, as a pair of cannons stand at the entrance to the party and a knight on horseback appears through the arched opening of an old, stone castle facade on the stage.
VolunTeaming is now offered under The Ritz-Carlton social responsibility program,
Community Footprints. Transcending traditional group activities, VolunTeaming combines teambuilding with volunteer activities that create lasting memories for the participants. Recognizing that many groups want their teambuilding time to make a meaningful contribution, these programs enable guests to be a force for good and feel personally connected to the place that they visit.
Please contact your
meetings and special events professional for details on how VolunTeaming activities can be matched to group.

Preserving Alcatraz Island, San Francisco’s Treasure
Participants will begin their day with a unique experience – taking the Alcatraz staff boat to the island, located in the middle of San Francisco Bay. Once there, an educational session will be provided on the history of this former military fort and fabled prison. Teams will then collaborate on garden restoration followed by a tour of the island and lunch.
