We won’t say we weren’t excited about the June 2017 opening of Hotel Via, but the main lure of the SoMA spot is its exclusive, ballpark-adjacent roof deck. It’s only accessible if you book a room or host an event—luckily, that “event” can number as small as six people. While snagging a reservation can be pricey (there's a $500 food and beverage minimum for both guests and the public), its prime location and stunning views are splurge-worthy. The indoor-outdoor space offers in-the-round views of downtown, the Bay, the Bay Bridge, and the East Bay. This roof deck is downright cozy, thanks to fire pits, ample heat lamps, and stiff cocktails.
