Along with MOAD, the St. Regis melds an unapologetically modern tower and a converted historic San Francisco building, topped by one of the better roof terraces in town.
“Located literally next door to the gallery, the property also houses the Museum of African Diasspora and is a short stride away from the new Jewish Contemporary Museum.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
SFMOMA sits directly next door, the Museum of the African Diaspora shares the building, and Yerba Buena Gardens rests across the street.
The rooms
Leather-paneled headboards and wallcoverings echoing the city's rolling hills frame skyline views, paired with deep soaking tubs.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Clerestory windows light the heated indoor lap pool, and the 24-hour gym looks out across the city.
The spa
Curved timber loungers face an illuminated Himalayan salt wall, with circular cutouts looking toward the pool.
Dogs stay too.
The St. Regis Bar
Bartenders shake chili-spiced Golden Gate Marys and pour Napa Valley wines along the glowing counter.
Since opening in 2005, The St. Regis San Francisco has been refining the concept of luxury, retaining the detail-oriented service focus and continuing its legacy of timeless elegance.
At the table
Astra serves Northern California cuisine in a dining room lined with green tile and watercolor landscapes.
How it began
Designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, the 40-story glass tower incorporates the historic 1907 Williams Building into its structure.
“Inside, the mirrored bar is separated from the seating area by a long, open gas fireplace. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls let a lot of light into the space.”
