San Francisco, CA

Located along Powell Street at San Francisco’s Union Square is the historic Westin St. Francis Hotel. Stanton Architecture led significant renovations which include guestroom improvements on the tower’s 31st floor and a number of public-space renovations from hotel amenities to food and beverage areas.

Hotel amenity improvements include the replacement of the Registration Lobby’s revolving door with a sliding door vestibule, the renovation and expansion of the Oak Room Westin Club Lounge, and exiting and life safety upgrades. Level 2 meeting rooms are reconfigured to provide access to new North and South Terraces that were previously unoccupied roofs. These terraces feature custom trellises, heating and lighting, and serve as private outdoor event venues that overlook the square.

Food and beverage renovations include a transformation of the storied Powell Street lobby, entrance and mezzanine into Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak, a conversion of the previous Clock Bar into the Bourbon Lounge, a renovation of the Geary Street wine bar into a speakeasy, The Eighth Rule, and accessibility improvements to the Geary Street vestibule and sidewalk.
