An architectural masterpiece, The Ballroom offers a timeless Beaux-Arts interior with superior modern amenities. The historic significance, professional production staff and strategic location make the Julia Morgan Ballroom an unparalleled space for any event in San Francisco. Our Namesake Julia Morgan One of America’s most important and prolific architects, Julia Morgan had her offices at the Merchants Exchange for forty-five years (1904-1950). Her connection to the building began early in her career when firebrand architect Willis Polk tapped her to design the common area interiors after the great earthquake of 1906. She took the assignment seriously, making her most distinctive mark on the opulent, light-filled lobby and the breathtaking banking hall, which included the incorporation of the historic William Coulter maritime murals. Morgan’s most important work remains the La Cuesta Encantada (“Hearst Castle”) in San Simeon, California. The first female architect to graduate from the École de Beaux-Arts in Paris, and the first licensed female architect in California, Julia Morgan designed over 700 buildings during her remarkable career. In addition to Hearst Castle , Wyntoon and other Hearst residences, Morgan is the visionary behind countless other California landmarks. Watch an indepth video on her illustrious career here .

Located at the heart of the bustling Financial District, the building radiates elegance from the street to the lobby and beyond. With an unparalleled design pedigree from three of America’s most celebrated architects, an unmatched legacy of hosting the city’s most important events, and state-of-the-art technological amenities, the Julia Morgan Ballroom is at once quintessentially San Francisco and fully tailored to your unique vision. Iconic The experience begins on California Street with cable cars whirring up Nob Hill behind you. Pass through the street-level doors and into an immaculately maintained era of lavish detail and impeccable taste designed by Willis Polk , Daniel Burnham and Julia Morgan , three titans of American architecture. The barrel-vaulted lobby shines with marble, gold leaf and bronze, while the curved glass ceiling washes the space in abundant natural light. Gleaming new elevators whisk you quickly up to the 15th floor and the landmark Julia Morgan Ballroom. The space is fully dedicated to your vision; there are no busy hotel corridors to contend with, no intrusions from the outside world. Before entering the ballroom, guests move through a classic foyer and proceed naturally through the opulent bar and lounge, featuring gilded ceilings and fireplaces of carved stone at each end. The 27-foot curved marble bar sweeps you toward the ballroom and a breathtaking reveal… Historic Light flows into the elegant 4,060 square foot ballroom through a wall of soaring floor-to-ceiling arched windows that afford a view of the twinkling cityscape, while mirrors on the opposite wall reflect the light. The view overhead is equally impressive – the ceiling is an intricate honeycomb of painstakingly crafted mahogany octagonals. The rich, paneled walls continue the refined aesthetic with classic columns worked directly into the wood. At the far end, a 20-foot stone fireplace provides an iconic backdrop and a final touch of grandeur. Weddings at the Julia Morgan Ballroom are not simply planned; they’re designed. In a building that has hosted U.S. presidents, foreign dignitaries, business legends and the brightest stars of film, music and sports, our staff has an unmatched legacy to honor and protect.

Our Namesake Julia Morgan One of America’s most important and prolific architects, Julia Morgan had her offices at the Merchants Exchange for forty-five years (1904-1950). Her connection to the building began early in her career when firebrand architect Willis Polk tapped her to design the common area interiors after the great earthquake of 1906. She took the assignment seriously, making her most distinctive mark on the opulent, light-filled lobby and the breathtaking banking hall, which included the incorporation of the historic William Coulter maritime murals. Morgan’s most important work remains the La Cuesta Encantada (“Hearst Castle”) in San Simeon, California. The first female architect to graduate from the École de Beaux-Arts in Paris, and the first licensed female architect in California, Julia Morgan designed over 700 buildings during her remarkable career. In addition to Hearst Castle , Wyntoon and other Hearst residences, Morgan is the visionary behind countless other California landmarks. Watch an indepth video on her illustrious career here .

Linens are taken directly from hangers in bags and go directly on tables with team members wearing gloves. Carpets and floors are cleaned again once set up is complete along with the dusting of walls and baseboards throughout. Set up for all stations (if allowed), buffets (if allowed) and table-side service are done with team members wearing gloves while handling all china, flatware, glassware and other equipment as needed including folding linen napkins. All team members are continuing safe practices upon entering the building until they leave including having their temperatures taken upon arrival, constant hand washing/sanitizing thought their shift, wearing gloves when necessary and appropriate and not eating/drinking while in the venues before or during events unless on a break in a designated area. After each event the venues are thoroughly cleaned by our internal teams. Team members wear gloves when clearing venues of all equipment, linens and trash/recycling from the event; linens and napkins are specific to each event and are never reused from one event to another; all furniture and chairs are wiped down as necessary before storing; carpets are vacuumed and floors are cleaned. Our evening janitorial team is taking additional steps to ensure cleanliness. Currently, our janitorial team is utilizing Waxie’s 710 disinfectant to wipe down all common area touch-points (door handles, restroom fixtures, elevator cabs, etc.). In addition, we will also be deploying Protexus electrostatic sprayer equipment with Purtabs sanitizing tablets following every event in our space. Our Kitchens Safety and sanitation are top priority in any culinary environment. The cleaning process begins with commercial grade products and every area of the kitchen is sanitized before any food preparation begins. Team members are provided with clean aprons, kitchen towels, protective masks and gloves that are worn throughout the entire shift and changed as needed. We are enforcing surface sanitization every hour such as cleaning the grills/griddles and empty drip trays, filtering the fryer oil, emptying and sanitizing any hot or cold food holding units, thoroughly cleaning kitchen equipment after each use, knives and tools washed regularly throughout shift, degreasing and sanitizing all tabletop surfaces, removing floor mats for cleaning as well as sweeping and mopping the floors at the end of each day.

Team members utilize a disinfectant approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in frequently wiping down the bar of all high touch areas. Additional cleaning includes using sanitizing solution often and switching out bar towels after each use throughout events. Bar tops, ice wells, sinks, beer taps, soda guns and bottles are all disinfected/wiped down before and after each event. In addition, glassware and all bar equipment are set up before and put away after each event to avoid contamination. Floors and mats are cleaned on a regular basis. Audio Visual During business hours, our team members have been instructed to focus additional attention on wiping down frequently touched surfaces, such as laptops, video touch panels, and audio mixers. All microphones are also disinfected before and after each event paying close attention to dedicating one microphone to each speaker to avoid cross-contamination. Keeping our equipment clean is a priority to ensure a safe and healthy environment for both our guests and clients as well as our team members. Each team member washes and thoroughly dries their hands before and after handling A/V materials, ensuring that the surrounding environment is clean and sanitary. All AV team members will be wearing masks throughout their entire shift. When it’s time to return… Vaccines are on the way and blue skies are ahead.
