Three January Bookings at Moscone and the City's Day-Room Shelf

Moscone's own feed carries Winter FancyFaire, the ASCO GI Cancers Symposium and SPIE Photonics West in January 2027, one 2 December stamp closes ASCO GI hotel reservations and early registration, and San Francisco day rooms run from 91 dollars at The Mosser to 159 dollars at Taj Campton Place.

Three Bookings Hold the January Calendar

The convention centre's own events feed carries three bookings inside January 2027, and each record names its halls.

Specialty Food Association Winter FancyFaire 2027 runs 17 to 19 January in Moscone North and South. The American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium runs 21 to 23 January in Moscone West. SPIE Photonics West 2027 runs 30 January to 4 February across Moscone North, South and West.

Two gaps sit inside that run. Wednesday 20 January separates the FancyFaire's Tuesday close from the symposium's Thursday open. Seven days separate the symposium's Saturday close from Photonics West's Saturday open.

The One Stamp That Closes Both Books

Hotel reservations and early registration close together. The organiser prints the deadline as 2 December 2026 at 11:59 PM ET.

That date is a Wednesday, and it falls 50 days before the Thursday open.

The housing terms move after that minute. The organiser states that hotel reservations received after 2 December are processed on a space-available basis and may carry higher rates.

Cancellations must be made 72 hours before the arrival date to avoid a cancellation fee.

What the City Prices at in January

Engine's published San Francisco ladder puts the city average at 165 dollars a night across 3.1 million public rate observations from May 2024 to April 2026. January reads 166 dollars, one per cent above that average. December reads 129 dollars, 22 per cent below it, and March reads 197 dollars, 19 per cent above it.

The publisher states its basis. These are par rates, the cheapest publicly available price at the time of each search, and not negotiated or booked rates. Thirty-five per cent separates the cheapest month from the priciest.

Three nights at the January figure total 498 dollars.

Citywide, San Francisco ranks 18 of 50 United States markets in the same dataset, 11 per cent above the 148 dollar median.

The Room Supply Around the Halls

The convention centre publishes two counts of its own neighbourhood. The FAQ on the centre's own site counts over 20,000 hotel rooms inside walking distance of the halls. The booking page puts more than two-thirds of the city's 34,000 hotel rooms inside walking distance.

The same FAQ closes one route for a delegate. "The Moscone Center does not rent rooms on an individual basis."

Every event at the centre is booked by San Francisco Travel Association, by the centre's own statement on its booking page.

The Day-Room Shelf for a January Delegation

A day room covers a meeting, a rest and a desk without a night on the invoice. Dayuse's San Francisco page, read on 16 October 2026, lists 20 properties at an average of 119.61 dollars for a day room.

Nine of the 20 sit inside the city. The Mosser Hotel reads 91 dollars, Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf 107 dollars, the Hilton San Francisco Financial District 116 dollars, Axiom Hotel 122 dollars, Buena Vista Motor Inn 123 dollars, Hotel Zeppelin 138 dollars, Hotel Zelos 144 dollars, Hotel Zetta 152 dollars and Taj Campton Place 159 dollars.

The other eleven sit outside the city: the SFO airport corridor, Millbrae, Emeryville, Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda, from Coral Reef Inn and Suites at 91 dollars to Holiday Inn Express Berkeley at 138 dollars.

Day-use inventory in the city runs wider than that shelf. The hotelslots.org directory for San Francisco lists 562 hotels available and takes rate requests.

The Following Month at the Same Address

The venue feed carries two more bookings in Moscone West. The ASCO GU Cancers Symposium 2027 runs 11 to 13 February. The Orthopaedic Research Society 2027 annual meeting runs 19 to 23 February.
