In 2024, Visa opened its world headquarters in the Mission Rock neighborhood of San Francisco. Situated along the waterfront, near the southern end of the Mission Bay neighborhood and adjacent to Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants baseball team, Mission Rock is a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood.
Visa has reserved a room block at the Hyatt Place San Francisco / Downtown, located a short ten-minute walk from the office. If you prefer to book your own hotel, the office is a short taxi or ride-share from dozens of hotels located within San Francisco’s commercial center.
