What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The 39th-floor lounge in the heart of downtown is simply (and appropriately) called The View.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Yerba Buena Gardens and Moscone Center border the building, with SFMOMA galleries and Powell Street transit just blocks away.
The rooms
Guestrooms provide streamlined workstations and modern bathrooms, following a comprehensive multi-million-dollar renovation across the tower.
The spa
The gym
The two-floor fitness center includes rows of cardio machines, strength equipment, and an open-air workout terrace.

Bar
The View Lounge
Cocktail tables sit against massive fan-shaped windows on the 39th floor, where bartenders pour drinks overlooking the city skyline.
Restaurant
B55 Craft House & Kitchen
The ground-floor gastropub serves American comfort dishes and breakfast, with fifty-five craft beers and select bourbons on pour.
How it began
On opening day during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, a single martini glass survived unbroken and remains displayed on floor 39.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
