“We are thrilled to open the doors to Grand Hyatt at SFO and
welcome our international guests, SFO visitors and local friends,”
said Henning Nopper, general manager, Grand Hyatt at SFO. “The
completion of this hotel, an iconic addition to our Grand Hyatt
brand, is a culmination of many years of hard work and planning by
Hyatt, San Francisco International Airport, the great City and
County of San Francisco, San Francisco Arts Commission, and many
more supporters.”
Directly connected to all airport terminals with its own
dedicated, newly constructed AirTrain station, Grand Hyatt at SFO
serves as a captivating destination within a destination and
elevated respite for corporate business travelers as well as
leisure guests to bypass the airport bustle. The highly anticipated
debut also marks a key milestone in Hyatt’s west coast expansion
plan to add 40 new hotels in California, Oregon and Washington by
the end of 2021.
“With the opening of Grand Hyatt at SFO, we offer travelers a
new benchmark in airport hospitality,” said Airport Director Ivar
C. Satero. “The new hotel reflects our commitment to deliver a
world-class experience for our guests, with seamless access via our
AirTrain system, sustainable building design, thoughtful service
and amenities, and inspiring works of public art. My thanks go out
to Hyatt, the San Francisco Arts Commission, and our entire
design-build team for making this day a reality.”
CONCEPT & DESIGN
The bold, vibrant design and architecture of Grand Hyatt at SFO
is the vision of San Francisco-based architect Hornberger +
Worstell and associate ED21, along with two internationally
acclaimed interior design firms, BraytonHughes Design Studios and
RoseBernard Studio. Guests step out of the hotel’s new AirTrain
station, which features a dramatic kaleidoscopic stained-glass art
installation, and after crossing an enclosed bridge, they enter the
hotel’s stunning, light-filled lobby where they are greeted by
expansive windows and views of SFO and hills beyond.
The California Eucalyptus grove-inspired lobby invites guests to
relax, enjoy a refreshment, and work among natural wood communal
tables overlooking the airfield. As a subtle visual homage to the
airport’s long history as an aviation gateway to and from the
Pacific Rim, the marble reception desks are designed to recall a
set of vintage pilot’s wings.
GUESTROOMS
Light-filled guestrooms, designed to become a sanctuary for
modern travelers, counterbalance stressful travels with calm
bespoke interiors, soundproofed, floor-to-ceiling windows. Each
guestroom also features a Hyatt Luxury Pillowtop Grand Bed™, flat
screen TV, and elegant bathrooms. As a part of the Grand Hyatt
brand’s eco-friendly tenets, Grand Hyatt at SFO offers large-format
bath amenities and is working to limit single-use plastics. With
the hotel’s location directly adjacent to the International
Terminal and airfield, guests have the unique opportunity to enjoy
magnificent moments of close-up views of airplanes.
Travelers also have the opportunity to reserve a micro stay in
the hotel’s day-use rooms – the perfect solution for fly-in,
fly-out conferences and daytime layovers. Day-use rates start at
$125 for access to guestrooms for six hours between 8:00 a.m. and
8:00 p.m.
FOOD AND BEVERAGE
Quail & Crane, the hotel’s 108-seat signature
restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, boasts an open
kitchen and expansive communal dining with wood floors and
ceilings. Executive Chef Jesse McDannel has created a bold,
multicultural menu that speaks to both the bounty of Northern
California and the cooking practices and traditions of Asia. The
restaurant design feels uniquely linked to the Bay Area with a
direct connection to the local landscape. Accenting the experience
is artwork inspired by regional landscapes and materials, resulting
in one-of-a-kind pieces that feel honest, crafted, and exclusive to
the Bay Area.
Twin Crafts Market & Bar is a multifunctional lounge
with a 24/7 market for “on-the-go” provisions including breakfast,
salads and hand-crafted sandwiches. The cocktail bar, open from
10:00 a.m. through midnight, serves up burgers, oysters on the half
shell and salads, paired perfectly with cocktails, California wines
and local craft beers. For dining in-room, guests may place an
order for chef-inspired entrees and appetizers from the hotel’s
24-hour room service menu. The design is inspired from the Bay
Area’s cityscape; details emulating urban life, from grid
topography and textures, mixed eclectic architecture and cable
car-inspired light fixtures to street inspired artwork, together
transports guests outside SFO.
MEETINGS & EVENTS
Grand Hyatt at SFO offers 14,435 square feet of stylish meeting
and event spaces with designs inspired by the bay, with deep blues
and sail-like floor patterns and ceiling forms adorning the meeting
rooms and hallways. All 18 event spaces, including a 5,760
square-foot Grand Ballroom with a wide selection of layout options,
suitable for both weddings and meetings, are named for storied
planes like the Stratocruiser and Looper. For brides- and
grooms-to-be, Grand Hyatt at SFO serves as a modern, theatrical
wedding venue unlike any other.
ARTWORK
Developed in collaboration with the San Francisco Arts
Commission, the public art program at Grand Hyatt at SFO reflects
nature and the innovation and creativity for which San Francisco is
celebrated throughout the world. A total of 16 works including
sculpture, mosaic, painting, and photography created by
internationally recognized artists include Green Map by Ellen
Harvey, Circadian Transit by Tahiti Pehrson, and Ether by Japanese
artist Kohei Nawa. A true statement piece, Ether is a 35-foot
sculpture located on site at the exterior of the hotel references
weightlessness and the movement of airplanes.
WELLBEING
The new hotel features a 24-hour fitness center complete with a
dedicated yoga space, treadmills, elliptical fitness equipment and
free weights. Interactive gym technology, Peloton® bicycles and
high-tech MIRROR, offer on-demand workouts. The fitness center’s
spaces provide the opportunity for energetic light-filled workouts.
Additionally, an intimate massage suite will offer a range of
on-demand treatments including massages, body treatments and
facials perfectly designed to combat the effects of air travel.
SUSTAINABILITY
Designed to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) Gold certification (expected early 2020), Grand Hyatt
at SFO’s operations reflect the sustainability missions of both
Hyatt and the San Francisco Airport Commission. SFO has set a goal
to become the world’s first Zero Net Energy (ZNE) airport campus by
2021, and the property is in line with this goal with a ZNE capable
design. Grand Hyatt at SFO is 26% more energy efficient than a
baseline hotel, identified by LEED, and the property generates
133,000 kWh of energy annually with roof-mounted photovoltaic
panels.
Highlights of the property’s water sustainability efforts to
save 6,700,000 gallons of water each year include the installation
of water-efficient systems including cooling towers with
state-of-the-art water flow controls, efficient flush toilets,
low-flow faucets and showerheads, as well as Energy Star®–rated ice
machines. Additional sustainability endeavors include the use of
regionally sourced building materials, recycled content used in
building construction and furniture and much more.
