Plan your next event with the Empress.

Our manager and staff will be honored to offer their assistance in planning banquets, dinners, and parties. Your dining pleasure is of paramount importance to us.

Main Dining Room
A setting of Han serenity and dignity. Through tall windows one can see Telegraph Hill with glimpses of the bay. Rare gilt carvings of the Four Seasons, magnificent palace chandeliers topped by iridescent peacock feathers, embellish this elegant room.

Emperor's Chamber
A VIP room with views of North Beach and Coit Tower, seats 30. Guests enjoy supreme private dining pleasure in a haven for convivial feasting. Red silk-lined walls, mirror-reflected Han era grilles and panels, art objects, marble-top octagonal teak tables, an historic temple arch, exquisite Princess chandeliers are treasures of this regal inner-sanctum.

Golden Court
Overlooks Portsmouth Square, birthplace of San Francisco with a scintillating view of the bay and financial district. Frames in the wall mirrors are Peking shadow boxes, gilt woodwork, trimmed with kingfishers' feathers in their original blue color. Panels, carvings, and peacock feather-topped palace chandeliers are from the past dynasties.
