Arriving by Air

Westin Hotel

There are two main airports serving San Francisco and easily accessible by public transportation. San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and Oakland International Airport are both accessible from the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) for around $5.00. The hotel is located 3 blocks from the Powell Street Station in downtown San Francisco. Getting to and from SFO via BART is slightly more convenient than Oakland where you must first take a 20-minute shuttle bus to the BART station at a cost of $3.00.

In addition to public transportation, Ground Transportation services include taxis, shuttles, and limousines which are also available in front of or next to each terminal. The average cab fare is around $35 or $40 from SFO and $45 from Oakland. Ground Transportation Information counters are located on the lower baggage claim level of all terminals and provide information and reservations for buses, shared-ride vans and limousines. Other public transportation information is also available.
