Globally
SAN FRANCISCO, June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 1 Hotels, the luxury
lifestyle hotel brand inspired by nature, today announced the
opening of 1 Hotel San Francisco, the mission-driven luxury
hospitality brand's second California property and the City by the Bay's
newest, most thoughtfully designed eco-friendly urban refuge.
Integrating the best of sustainable design and architecture

property's 186 guest rooms and 14 suites capture panoramic views of

and stunning natural beauty.

Centrally located on the Embarcadero, directly across the street
from the luminous San Francisco Bay, 1 Hotel San Francisco was
developed in partnership with Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. The property
provides easy access to all the best downtown offers—from dining to
shopping to arts and culture. It neighbors the vibrant SoMa
district, Chinatown, North Beach, Oracle Park, Chase Center, Coit
Tower and the iconic Ferry Building.
"1 Hotel San Francisco is an inspiring example of what our brand
stands for," said 1 Hotels Founder and CEO & Chairman of
Starwood Capital Group Barry Sternlicht. "It is a tangible
extension of our vision and purpose: to place holistic wellness at
the forefront of our operations for our guests, local communities,
and the planet. This vibrant and eclectic city has long been
at the forefront of driving sustainable change in
architecture and design. Inspired by that rich history, our
goal is to infuse an urban oasis with the natural beauty of the
Northern California landscape and
the sensibility of this dynamic community."
"We are very excited to be partnering with the 1 Hotels team to
bring a new level of service and luxury hospitality
experience to San Francisco,"
said Jon E. Bortz, Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel
Trust. "Pebblebrook is committed to ensuring our hotels are
operated in an environmentally sustainable manner, and that the
sociocultural fabric of the communities in which our properties
reside is celebrated. As a leader in luxury sustainability, 1 Hotel
San Francisco will also set a new standard of excellence for its
commitment to sustainable initiatives and the greater San Francisco community."
The hotel pays homage to the regional environment throughout the
urban oasis with an earth tone color palette, raw materials, and
layered textures. The reclaimed wood lobby floor is fashioned
from lumber salvaged from historic barns and industrial buildings.
Sustainably sourced redwood salvaged from the original San
Francisco Bay Bridge adorns elevator landings and corridors.
Native greenery, exposed brick, warm terracotta accents, and
rustic stones introduce elements of the natural world while
referencing the city's unique urban ecology. All hand-loomed
rugs and carpets are created from natural plant fibers and
recyclable wool. Other features, including the bar,
latticework, and bar façade, are created from concrete, responsibly
crafted by a local family-run business amid salvaged driftwood
artwork.
Terrene, the indoor-outdoor café & lounge offering shareable
plates, echoes the refinement and natural simplicity of the 1
Hotels brand. Drawing inspiration from the region's renowned
legacy of culinary innovation, its menu is rooted in an abundance
of local, fresh, organic, and sustainably-sourced natural
ingredients. Fresh ingredients for curated dishes and craft
cocktails grow on the rooftop chef's garden while beehives
facilitate on-site honey production. Terrene, which will open
to the public later this summer, will showcase a comprehensive
selection of organic tequilas and mezcals, alongside an assortment
of biodynamic wines from the Sonoma and Napa
Valley regions and local craft beer and microbrews.
The property offers guests the opportunity to relax and recharge
in a unique urban sanctuary. 1 Hotel's holistic wellness
philosophy aligns naturally with the brand's core values—true
wellbeing is achieved when the mind, body, and spirit are fully
connected to one's surrounding environment. On-site
facilities include a full-service Bamford wellness spa rooted in 1
Hotels' core mission of fostering a closer relationship with the
natural world. The Field House is open 24/7, featuring
state-of-the-art weight training and cardio equipment, including
Peloton bikes for personalized experiences. Guests can enjoy
the Audi Electric Vehicle Experience by taking advantage of the
house car or test driving the Audi e-tron, the Official Electric
Vehicle of 1 Hotel San Francisco, during their stay.
1 Hotel San Francisco provides versatile settings for all types
of events, meetings, and celebrations with 5,074 sq. ft. of
one-of-a-kind indoor and outdoor meeting and event spaces.
These include a 1,750 sq. ft. ballroom, boardroom, and
outdoor terraces perched on the hotel's upper floors, offering
panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay. Private events may
also be held in Terrene, with a lounge and a large patio
overlooking the historic Embarcadero.
