Francese's studio workshops.  The Radisson is located within shops, restaurants, galleries, Pier 39, and a quick taxi or ferry to

off and pick us up on location.  It is more convenient and affordable than finding available 2-hr parking meters.  There is a car
rental company within two blocks, if you want to take an excursion and do some sight-seeing.  The spacious guest rooms offer
mini-refrigerators, large work desks and safe's large enough to hold a laptop computer.  The remolded hotel provides a clean
comfortable stay with all the amenities including outdoor heated pool and fitness center.  The meeting rooms have good ceiling
light and full length windows, plus private restrooms.  Request Art in the Mountains rate of $149, plus tax, for King or double
