The View Lounge, Rooftop bar at Marriott Marquis, San Francisco, United States
The View Lounge occupies the 39th floor of the Marriott Marquis with floor-to-ceiling windows framing views of the San Francisco skyline and bay. The space features multiple seating sections and a full bar counter positioned to maximize sightlines across the city.
The lounge opened in 1989 when the Marriott Marquis hotel was built, marking the start of elevated bar culture in downtown San Francisco. It helped establish rooftop venues as destinations in the city's hospitality landscape.
The bar highlights California wines and local ingredients in craft cocktails that represent the food and drink traditions of Northern California.
The lounge is open daily in the late afternoon through midnight with seating available on a walk-in basis. Arriving during off-peak hours tends to offer better access to seating with the best views.
The curved window architecture creates different city perspectives from each seating area, with some sections offering 180-degree views across the urban landscape. This design ensures that no two seats provide exactly the same view of San Francisco.
