fire safety:
Should an alarm occur, hotel associates will conduct a rapid investigation of the alarm’s cause.
Please remain calm and listen for instructions over our public address system. Trained hotel staff will advise all guests of the nature of the alarm and any actions that need to be taken.
In the rare event that a hotel evacuation is requested; follow the evacuation map that is located on the back of your guest room door. Take your guest key and leave the room. Do not use the elevators. Walk to the closest stairway and leave the hotel.
If you are in a function room or food and beverage outlet, proceed directly to the nearest Emergency Exit and exit the building.
Once outside the building, hotel associates will direct you to our holding area, located in Yerba Buena Gardens, located across Mission Street. You will be notified when it is safe to return to the hotel.
