  • Streets of San Francisco

  • Treat your guests to the sights and sounds of the City and its famous multicultural 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 by 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, 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.

A memorable and enriching stay can extend well beyond our hotels. That’s why The Ritz-Carlton proudly offers Impact Experiences, providing inspiring opportunities for our guests to contribute to the local community. Impact Experiences are compelling social and environmental impact activities where there is one constant – each program makes a lasting and authentic difference.  Impact Experiences offers on-property activities that can be incorporated into the conference agenda during lunch breaks, receptions and coffee breaks, including:


  • Partnering with the hotel’s culinary team to prepare the ingredients for a regionally adapted dish for donation to a local hunger relief organization.

  • Assembling school supplies and art materials in backpacks for donation to students whose academic success is threatened by poverty.

  • Collaborating in teams to assemble emergency preparedness kits for shipping to a disaster relief facility or community organization.

  • Designing and creating greetings and birthday cards for children in a local pediatric healthcare facility or children’s organization.

  • Impact Hour is a platform for leaders from The Ritz-Carlton Community Footprints partner organizations to showcase how they are successfully addressing social and environmental issues.

  • Additionally, Signature Impact Experiences invite our group guests to take part in an off-site volunteer activity, unique to the destination.

Banquet
Generally used for meals and sessions involving small group discussions. A five foot round table seats eight people comfortably. A six foot round table seats 10 people comfortably.
Conference and Hollow Square
Appropriate for interactive discussions and note-taking sessions for fewer than 25 people. Many hotels have elegant "boardrooms" for 10 to 20 people, equipped with full audiovisual capabilities, a writing board, cork board and a flip chart.
E-Shape, U-Shape and T-Shape
Appropriate for groups of fewer than 40 people. These are best for interaction with a leader seated at the head of the setup. Audiovisual is usually best set up at the open end of the seating.
Theater
Appropriate for large sessions and short lectures that do not require extensive note-taking. This is a convenient setup to use before breaking into discussion or role-playing groups because chairs can be moved.
Reception
Stand-up social function where beverages and light foods are served. Foods may be presented on small buffet tables or passed by servers. May precede a meal function.
Schoolroom or Classroom
The most desirable setup for medium to large-size lectures. Requires a relatively large room. Tables provide attendees with space for spreading out materials and taking notes.
Ovals and Rounds
