Housing Information
1997 Fall Meeting
December 8-12, 1997
(Monday through Friday)
San Francisco, California


AGU has blocked rooms at a wide selection of properties in downtown San Francisco, near the Moscone Center, that will suit a variety of budgets and tastes.

While many of the hotels are within walking distance to the Moscone Center, AGU will provide a round-trip shuttle service from several hotels to the Moscone Center for your convenience. Shuttle schedules will be posted in the hotel lobbies and at the Moscone Center. In addition, San Francisco's public transportation system makes getting from your hotel to any location around town convenient, relatively safe, and inexpensive. Taxis are also readily available and very reasonably priced.

Hotels have been selected on the basis of location, availability, price, safety, and desirability.
