Where to stay
Per SF Travel, Union Square has most major hotels and the best transit links, with easy transit to Chase Center and the opera (note the Powell BART entrance closure at 4th and Market from Monday). Mission Bay is closest to Chase Center for both Warriors games, but SoMa waterfront and Embarcadero hotels sit inside Wednesday's parade closures; the Mission puts you on Monday's procession route but expect evening closures. https://www.sftravel.com/neighborhoods
