Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences, Historic skyscraper in Financial District, San Francisco, United States
The Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences is a 95-meter tower with 24 floors featuring Richardsonian Romanesque design elements in San Francisco's Financial District. Its restored 1890s exterior facade contrasts with contemporary residential amenities and services inside.
The building was constructed in 1890 by architects Burnham and Root as the Chronicle Building, making it California's first skyscraper. Its conversion to a private residential tower decades later reflected broader changes in urban real estate development.
The tower reflects San Francisco's shift from a newspaper publishing hub to a residential destination, with its stone exterior still showing the craftsmanship of its original purpose. Visitors can see how the building's identity has evolved while keeping its architectural roots visible.
The building offers 24-hour concierge service and a private club lounge on the 12th floor with secured parking for residents and guests. Its location in the Financial District provides easy access to public transit and nearby shops.
The interiors feature Italian marble bathrooms and soundproof windows that blend modern comfort with the building's historic exterior walls. The original 1890s clock tower remains functional and continues to define the structure's profile.
