San Francisco's 'Grand Dame' of Union Square, The Westin St. Francis, Completes $45 Million Renovation

USA, San Francisco, California. April 17, 2018

The iconic Westin St. Francis, the renowned “Grand Dame” of San Francisco's Union Square, has completed a $45 million renovation of the Landmark Building. Comprised of 618 guestrooms and four Specialty Suites on 12 floors, this is the largest renovation ever untaken of this historic 1904 building. The Landmark Building consists of four brick wings constructed over the course of nine years in the early twentieth century spanning from 1904 to 1913.

The design was inspired by San Francisco's moniker as “The Paris of the West,” bestowed when the “St. Francis” opened as the crown jewel of the city. The new look of the guestrooms and corridors is reminiscent of a lovely spring day in Paris with a sophisticated color scheme that complements the beauty of the original crown molding, crystal chandeliers, and high ceilings.

“Ever since the St. Francis opened its doors in 1904, it has been synonymous with sophistication and renowned for its importance in San Francisco as a hub of social and business activity,” says Jon Kimball, Area General Manager. “The new design of the Landmark Building pays tribute to its rich history while showcasing its iconic grandeur in a fresh light.”

Expansive hallways, originally designed to accommodate the large hoop skirts women wore in the early 1900s, have been brightened with elegant art deco chandeliers, complementing the new lights at each guestroom doorway. Large moody artwork of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and black and white photography of San Francisco street scenes adorn the walls.
