Rosewood Hotels & Resorts has been selected by F4 Transbay Partners (F4) – a joint venture by real estate firm Hines, developers Urban Pacific and the real estate business within Goldman Sachs Asset Management – to manage Rosewood San Francisco, an ultra-luxury hotel set to open in the city’s Transbay District in 2026.

Occupying 15 floors of a 61-storey, 1.1-millionft² building designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, the 800-foot structure is the last of greater downtown San Francisco’s skyscraper developments for the foreseeable future, and one of just three projects with a direct connection to the Salesforce Park via a skybridge. In addition to the hotel, the tower will comprise residences, office, retail spaces and a pedestrian realm.

Beyond its prime location, Rosewood San Francisco will offer 180 guestrooms and suites featuring a locally inspired design by Joyce Wang Studio and views of the surrounding city and adjacent park. Amenities will include Asaya, Rosewood’s forward-thinking wellness concept, and a fully equipped fitness and movement studio with an indoor lap pool. Rounding out the property are a variety of event spaces, an indoor-outdoor restaurant, patisserie, living room and the Manor Club – the brand’s signature private lounge concept.

“As one of the most dynamic and innovative cities in North America, San Francisco offers an eclectic mix of culture, cuisine, art, technology and adventure, and is an ideal destination for the Rosewood brand,” says CEO Sonia Cheng. “We are thrilled to be a part of this new development and look forward to providing our affluential explorers and San Franciscans alike with a stylish and refined icon to enjoy for years to come.”

Douglas Metzler, CEO West Region for Hines, adds: “Rosewood is an ideal partner for this project and will create a one-of-a-kind destination for those who call the Bay Area home, as well as those who travel there for business and pleasure. Its collection represents the pinnacle of luxury hotels, inspired by the culture, history and geography of each locale, and we are thrilled to bring their vision to the Transbay District.”

Upon its launch in five years’ time, Rosewood San Francisco will join Rosewood’s two existing California properties including Rosewood Sand Hill in Menlo Park and Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito.
