Hilton San Francisco Union Square completed its multimillion-dollar guest room renovation project with upgraded accommodations in Tower Two. The new features include comfortable but sleek colors and designs, noise canceling windows and doors and electric plugs that are easily accessible throughout the room.
Bathrooms and guest rooms have been completely redone, including ample bathroom lighting and in-room tablets for greater guest convenience, which will be available in all the hotel’s 1,919 guest rooms.
Other new enhancements include Cityscape viewing lounge and Urban Tavern.
Cityscape offers unobstructed 360-degree views of the city and the Golden Gate Bridge from atop the hotel’s 46th floor. In addition to spectacular views, the lounge’s menu highlights hand-crafted cocktails, California wines and a menu of small bites for sharing. The newly reimagined Urban Tavern is a casual but contemporary neighborhood tavern that makes visitors feel like locals. Recently redesigned to present the best of the Bay Area food scene, the restaurant now boasts an urban buzz that is partnered with the chef’s menu, featuring seasonal dishes, complimented by the region's celebrated wines, craft beers and cocktails.
Additionally, the hotel completed refurbishment of its meeting spaces and common areas as well as a $6 million transformation of its 30,000-square-foot lobby. The latest enhancements include an overhaul of the hotel’s Lobby Bar and culinary marketplace, Herb N’ Kitchen, boasting design inspired by San Francisco’s eclectic characteristics. The completion of this renovation amounts to $130 million capital spend in the last eight years.
