SAN FRANCISCO
Ensemble Real Estate Investments recently celebrated the launch of the Hyatt Place Emeryville/San Francisco hotel with a grand opening ceremony for local civic leaders, investors and top representatives from San Francisco, Oakland and Emeryville’s burgeoning local business community.
Ensemble led the development of the Hyatt Place Emeryville/San Francisco, a 175-room, upscale hotel for business and leisure travelers that features views of San Francisco’s bridges and cityscape, Emeryville’s downtown shopping district and the Oakland hills. Emeryville and adjoining East Bay communities are home to a wide array of local innovators and global brands, including Peet’s Coffee, Clif Bar, Novartis, Pixar Animation Studios, Bayer Healthcare, Leapfrog and many others.
The new Hyatt property has been a key part of Emeryville’s ongoing downtown expansion and restoration initiative and serves as the flagship hotel in Bay Street Emeryville, a three-city-block-long development of one of the most popular urban shopping destinations in the Bay Area. The retail mega-center features 65 stores, 10 restaurants, a movie theater and 400 residential units.
The destination uses architecture, lighting, landscape and environmental graphics to create an eclectic, energetic atmosphere with compelling streetscapes, plazas and green space.
Leveraging its landmark location, the Ensemble team created a highly distinctive design with exclusive amenities for Emeryville. The hotel’s architects went beyond the typical Hyatt Place high standards by including dramatic oversized windows to showcase the breathtaking views of San Francisco Bay.
Additionally, to complement the original culture of the local community, Ensemble invited gifted local artists to design pieces for the hotel’s public areas. The property features the work of two local artists who collaborated with Ensemble and Hyatt to create personalized works unique to Emeryville.
Hyatt Place Emeryville/San Francisco Bay Area is “a different kind of hotel” designed around the needs of the modern traveler. Situated on the Bay overlooking San Francisco and just across the San Francisco Bay Bridge, between Oakland and Berkeley, the hotel is within minutes of many popular attractions in the Bay Area. The modern hotel offers 1,440 square feet of meeting space and is ideal for business.
