Loews Regency San Francisco, Hotel in the Financial District, San Francisco, United States
The Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco at Embarcadero occupies the top eleven floors of 345 California Center, a 48-storey, 211.8 m office tower completed in 1986 at 222 Sansome Street. Its two hotel wings sit at 45-degree angles to the rest of the building and are joined by glass skybridges overlooking San Francisco Bay.
The hotel opened in 1986 as the Mandarin Oriental, San Francisco, in the 345 California Center tower designed by Skidmore Owings Merrill. Loews Hotels bought it in February 2015 and renamed it Loews Regency San Francisco. Westbrook Partners acquired it in May 2019; it closed for renovations at the end of that year, and after a planned May 2020 opening was delayed by COVID-19, it reopened on June 16, 2021, as the Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco at Embarcadero.
The hotel's name has changed with each owner: it opened in 1986 as the Mandarin Oriental, became the Loews Regency in 2015, and took the Four Seasons name in 2019. Its address at 222 Sansome Street sits several blocks from the Embarcadero waterfront that the current name cites.
The entrance is at 222 Sansome Street, though the Embarcadero waterfront lies several blocks east. The lobby sits on the 11th floor of the 48-story 345 California Center, so guests take an elevator up from street level. The twin towers stand at 45-degree angles to the rest of the building, joined by glass skybridges.
The hotel's twin towers sit at a 45-degree angle to the rest of 345 California Center, joined by glass skybridges with views over San Francisco Bay. They were first planned as condominiums before becoming hotel floors.
