The Westin St. Francis San Francisco on Union Square

A symbol of elegance in san francisco for more than a century, The Westin St. Francis San Francisco on Union Square places groups in the heart of the city’s shopping and financial districts. At the same time, it offers an experience that’s modern yet timeless. The 1,195 guest rooms, including 48 suites, for example, marry old and new with a fresh sophistication that perfectly showcases the classically beautiful 1904 architecture.

The Tower Building’s recent $20 million renovation marks the largest renovation to the soaring building since it opened in 1972 as an addition to the historic 1904 Landmark Building. With 569 guest rooms on 32 floors, the Tower Building is one of Union Square’s tallest, offering unparalleled views of the San Francisco skyline. A shopping promenade, spa, and health club satisfy the needs of today’s travelers, as do three restaurants and three lounges that include celebrity chef Michael Mina’s five-star Bourbon Steak—offering a modern take on the classic steak house—and Clock Bar, Mina’s first bar and lounge, and still a local favorite.

Corporate events here take on a sense of epic importance. More than 56,000 square feet of function space, including 32 distinctive rooms wired for the latest technology, make meeting planners’ dreams come true. Highlights include a single point of contact for all planning needs, professional on-site audiovisual assistance, the Grand Ballroom for up to 1,500 guests, and the Tower Building’s sky-high Imperial Floor. It boasts two spectacular private rooms for special events with floor-to-ceiling views that stretch from the Bay Bridge to the Golden Gate.
