Waldorf Astoria San Fransisco revealed
Waldorf Astoria Hotels and Resorts, Hilton’s luxury brand of iconic landmark hotels, has announced Waldorf Astoria San Francisco.
Its newest property will be the centrepiece of a two million ft2, mixed-use complex that will feature luxury entertainment, retail and office space.
Waldorf Astoria San Francisco will reside within the first 21 stories of a signature tower designed by Foster + Partners. Located at Mission Street between Ecker and 1st Streets, Waldorf Astoria San Francisco will be situated in the city’s exciting new Transbay Neighbourhood, in the centre of a vast redevelopment project surrounding the Transbay Transit Centre.
Hospitality design firm Hirsch Bedner Associates brings its award-winning design to Waldorf Astoria San Francisco’s interiors, seamlessly blending the brand’s signature worldly sophistication with modern additions reflective of the iconic destination. The hotel will offer a spacious spa and will also feature an iconic Peacock Alley, serving a San Francisco approach to established Waldorf Astoria cuisine and libations.
Bordered by Market Street on the north, Embarcadero on the east, Folsom Street on the south, and Hawthorne Street to the west, the Transbay Neighbourhood is an inspirational environment unto itself. Transportation friendly with wide sidewalks and bike paths, the area has a vibrant mix of shops and restaurants, as well as contemporary green spaces, which have been carefully planned as key components.
“With the revitalisation taking place around the Transbay Transit Centre, this neighbourhood is poised to become a major hub for locals and global luxury travellers, which underscores Waldorf Astoria’s commitment of being in the centre of coveted gateway destinations,” says John T.A. Vanderslice, global head, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts.
“Waldorf Astoria San Francisco marks our third property in California – behind La Quinta Resort in Palm Springs and the future Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills. We are thrilled to accept this extraordinary opportunity to extend our unforgettable experiences, the finest amenities, and True Waldorf Service up the West Coast.”
