Hotel Californian, Historic hotel in Tenderloin, San Francisco, United States.
The twelve-story Hotel Californian at 403 Taylor Street combines Renaissance Revival architecture on its exterior with Spanish Colonial Revival elements in the lobby.
Edward E. Young designed the original structure in 1923, followed by Alfred Henry Jacobs' four-story addition in 1929, creating the complete building.
Elizabeth Glide transformed the property into San Francisco's only temperance hotel in 1935, operating under strict alcohol-free policies until 1978.
The building includes marble flooring throughout its levels, decorative pressed metal panels on its facade, and a connected parking garage for guests.
The hotel lobby features traditional Spanish design elements with twisted columns, decorative ironwork, and elaborate architectural details preserved from its original construction.
