Formed in 1946, the Marines' Memorial Association exists as a tribute to those who have gone before, and to provide a service to those who carry on. The flagship is the Marines’ Memorial Club & Hotel in downtown San Francisco, where members, their guests and families can meet and gather in continuation of the tradition. A unique establishment, the Marines’ Memorial is much more than a club and hotel. The Association’s mission is to maintain a living memorial honoring veterans of all branches of the United States Armed Forces; to educate and perpetuate their achievements and sacrifices, and to provide aid and assistance to the currently serving. The hidden gem of San Francisco, our California Spanish Revival building with its well-known blue awning, welcomes guests from around the world. Conveniently located just steps away from Union Square near San Francisco's famous shopping, dining and entertainment venues and one block from the Powell Street Cable Car line, we offer members and guests 136 hotel rooms including 13 suites and over 13,000 square feet of elegant event space spanning two floors. High ceilings, large windows and unique décor combined with impeccable service from our Banquets team make this San Francisco venue ideal for corporate and association meetings, weddings, reunions, and social events. The Marines' Memorial Theatre, seating 564, is available for keynote presentations, performances and other events. Chesty’s Bar & Grill on our 12th floor offers stunning views of San Francisco.
