Reclaimed barn wood floors and clusters of woven chairs give the plant-filled lobby a relaxed rhythm, with cream, sand and gray throughout.
“The overall impact of the mellow lighting, the color scheme, the organic design, and natural materials is tremendously soothing.”

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
the waterfront Embarcadero district is the perfect place for such a stylish, sustainable, and luxurious hotel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Ferry Building sits opposite, with three weekly farmers’ markets, while the Embarcadero walking path puts the waterfront right outside.
The rooms
Organic mattresses and locally sourced sustainable linens anchor the bedrooms, while selected rooms look toward the Bay Bridge and Ferry Building.
The spa
Bamford Wellness Spa sits on the eighth floor, where treatment rooms and outdoor stone soaking tubs overlook the skyline.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Terrene serves Mediterranean-inspired Californian dishes made with honey from on-site hives and produce from the rooftop garden.
The luxury hotel upholds a commitment to environmentalism, using local and reclaimed materials for the biophilic interior design…
How it began
This was Hotel Vitale before its 2022 conversion, which brought an environmental ethos under a brand named for the idea of one world.
