Choice Hotels International continues growing the offerings in its upscale Ascend Hotel Collection, adding the 75-key Infinity Hotel San Francisco to its portfolio of unique, boutique and historic hotels and resorts with local flavor.

Infinity Hotel is situated at 2322 Lombard St. in the Marina District and offers travelers modern accommodations with waterfront access and views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Popular San Francisco attractions including Coit Tower, the Palace of Fine Arts, Pier 39, Fisherman’s Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, Union Square and the Moscone Conference Center are all within 15 minutes of the hotel.

Guests of Infinity Hotel San Francisco will be able to participate in the Choice Privileges loyalty rewards program.
