Westin St. Francis, Historic hotel in Union Square, San Francisco, United States.

The Westin St. Francis is a hotel with 1,195 rooms spread across its original 1904 building and a 32-story tower built in 1972. The property offers multiple dining venues, conference spaces, and a wellness center located directly on Union Square.

The hotel sustained severe damage during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and reopened in 1907 with reinforced structural improvements. This reconstruction allowed it to become a landmark of the city.

The hotel served as a gathering place for important guests and dignitaries attending the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915, including President Theodore Roosevelt. This role helped establish it as a prominent destination for social gatherings and official visits.

The hotel provides direct access to Union Square and its shopping areas nearby. Guests will find good amenities and convenient connections to public transportation from this central location.

The 32-story tower features exterior glass elevators that transport guests while offering views of San Francisco Bay and Union Square. These elevators provide a distinctive experience of the surroundings during the journey.
