The Laurel Inn is located at 444 Presidio Avenue in Pacific Heights, a well-known, affluent neighborhood known for its large residences in northern San Francisco and proximate to the Presidio, Golden State Park, the Marina District and Fisherman's Wharf. Situated at the intersection of California and Presidio Avenues, the hotel is within walking distance to the shops and restaurants located on Fillmore Street. The Laurel Inn features Swank Cocktail Bar & Lounge; lemonade and cookies served in the lobby each afternoon; all-day lobby coffee and tea service; a movie library; 24-hour business center with both PC and Mac platforms and Blu-ray players in every room. The hotel has a partnership with the San Francisco Jewish Community Center (JCC) directly across the street to allow guests to use JCC fitness facilities.
The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower was led by managing director Holden Lim and senior managing director Bruce Ganong.
“Due to the high quality, excellent location and strong performance of the Laurel Inn, numerous lenders were very interested in lending on the hotel,” Lim said. “The upcoming renovation will improve its star rating and enhance the overall competitiveness of the hotel.”
