Community

We believe that our partners in diversity are what makes the San Francisco Marriott Marquis and The View Lounge thrive and expand. We are proud to partner with San Francisco's local community, and here are a few we'd like to introduce to you.

Therese Lahaie, Lightbirds

Last year, Skyline Artist Lightbirds "Soared" the Salesforce Tower in Spring Migration. Light installation artist and open water swimmer Therese Lahaie kept track of the tides and seabirds as she swam in the San Francisco Bay.

We were thrilled to partner with local artist Therese Lahaie as she debuted Lightbirds with 80' wingspans that flew on the tower to mark the Spring migration, during watch parties on Saturday, April 29, and Sunday, April 30, 2023, from 8 pm to 11 pm at The View Lounge to celebrate this monumental event.

 

 

Celebrating LGBTQ+

San Francisco Marriott Marquis is proud to celebrate Pride Month annually in June and remains committed to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community throughout the year, embracing diversity and inclusivity as integral values in our ongoing endeavors.

The View Lounge created a D'Arcy's French 75 cocktail, and here's the recipe:

D'Arcy's French 75
Ingredients
• 1-ounce gin
• 1/2 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed

• Garnish: lemon twist

Instructions
• Add the gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup to a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled.
• Strain into a Champagne flute

Cheers to a future filled with acceptance and understanding for all.

Treecraft Distillery

It started with our chef taking his son to a soccer game on Treasure Island.  Mixing pleasure and opportunity to support our local community, as he always does, our chef walked into the Treecraft Distillery and a relationship was born.   

Treecraft Distillery makes small-batch craft spirits using locally sourced ingredients to create the perfect grain-to-glass gin, vodka, rum, and whiskey. Their craft spirits are made with meticulous attention to detail using only fresh, natural, local ingredients.  They are the makers of the Lavender Hibiscus Gin, an ingredient in The View's signature Ten/89 Martini.  

Threecraft Distillery is one of only two certified LGBTQ-owned and operated distilleries in the United States.  They celebrate diversity and are proud certified members of the NGLCC.
