"4S type of venue" - do you mean you want a meeting space? Or a high end reception location? Lumi by Akira Back is a really nice rooftop restaurant space in the Gaslamp District, maybe 5-10 minute walk from Convention Center

High end reception! They love using the Four Seasons as their reference point because they frequently use it in London.

I if I were going for a 4S vibe, I would buy out Animae: https://www.animaesd.com/. Pendry SD and US Grant Hotel are very nice too! But if they want water view Intercontinental is great but further from SDCC

I use FS for many events; so my crew was used to that level. I bought out the US grant for the Leadership Event. Happy to discuss some of the things we did to turn it into an FS vibe and level of service.

@EventPlanner423 what a beautiful space! I've gone out to Pendry and US Grant already, but I hadn't even seen Animae. Thank you so much for sharing
