What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Self-described as design-forward, LUMA San Francisco embodies modern art from inside and out, with large-scale art installations throughout the hotel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along Mission Creek, the address sits a five-minute walk across the bridge to Oracle Park and near the Chase Center.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame waterfront views, with teal accents nodding to local salt ponds and motorized blackout shades ensuring sound sleep.
The gym
Interactive FORME smart mirrors and Concept2 SkiErg trainers outfit the third-floor gym and stretching zone.
Bar
Cavaña
Fire pits warm the seventeenth-floor terrace, with shareable Latin American small plates and sweeping bay views.
At the table
In the lobby, TWYNE pours morning espresso, and Trevino uncorks natural California wines by evening.
How it began
Debuting in 2022, the property marked the first ground-up hotel development built inside the revitalized Mission Bay district.
