Top of The Mark - San Francisco

Hotel Intercontinental l is where the Top of the Mark sits just 21 floors above Nob Hill. Most of the folks who occupy this club are Internet moguls and yuppies. Named after Mark Hopkins, the founder of the Central Pacific Railroad, The Mark Hopkins Hotel opened in 1926. During World War II, Pacific-bound servicemen and their friends would make their way to the Top of the Mark to have one last toast to the Golden Gate before shipping out. The mythology was that this toast at the Top would bring them home. As these servicemen sailed below the Golden Gate, wives and sweethearts gathered in the corner of the Top gazing out the windows to watch them go, earning the northwest corner the nickname Weepers' Corner.

Located on the 21st floor of the world renowned sky-lounge affords a near 360 degree vista of San Francisco including views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, and Alcatraz. Live entertainment is scheduled on Sunday and Tuesday, 7-12 Midnight. Wednesdays 9-Midnight and on Fridays and Saturdays (9pm-1am), a six-piece band gets folks out of their seats and swinging to ditties dating back to the '40s.
