333 Battery Street, San Francisco,, Hotel and skyscraper in Financial District, San Francisco, US
The Jay, Autograph Collection is a 360-room hotel at 333 Battery Street, in a 25-story tower designed by John C. Portman Jr. It opened in 1988 as the Park Hyatt San Francisco and was renovated and renamed The Jay Hotel in November 2023.
The tower opened in 1988 as the Park Hyatt San Francisco, designed by John C. Portman Jr. HEI Hotels & Resorts bought it from SHC Park San Francisco, a subsidiary of Strategic Hotel Capital, on 9 May 2006 and rebranded it as Le Méridien San Francisco the next day under franchise from Starwood. Chesapeake Lodging Trust paid $143 million in 2010 and was itself acquired by Park Hotels & Resorts in 2019; KHP Capital Partners bought the hotel from Park for $222 million in 2021 and reopened it in November 2023 as The Jay, Autograph Collection.
The hotel occupies the former Park Hyatt San Francisco, opened in 1988, and since November 2023 has traded as The Jay, part of Marriott's Autograph Collection. Its name changed with each owner: Le Méridien from 2006, then The Jay after KHP Capital Partners bought it in 2021 for $222 million.
The hotel stands at 333 Battery Street, in the Embarcadero/Financial District, a short walk from the Embarcadero waterfront and its ferry terminals. The 360 rooms sit in a 25-story tower designed by John C. Portman Jr., so ask for a room on a higher floor for bay or city views.
The building was designed by John C. Portman Jr., the architect behind the Embarcadero Center complex in which it stands. Its 360 rooms make it one of the larger hotels in the Financial District, and it has changed names three times in its history: Park Hyatt, Le Méridien and The Jay.
