The Westin St. Francis Completes a $20 Million Renovation of the Tower Building
This is the largest renovation of this soaring building since it opened in 1972 as an addition to the historic 1904 Landmark Building. Comprised of 569 guestrooms on 32 floors, the Tower Building is one of the tallest buildings on Union Square and boasts unparalleled views of the San Francisco skyline.

“For 110 years, The Westin St. Francis has been in the hearts and minds of people from around the world,” states Jon Kimball, General Manager of The Westin St. Francis. “The hotel has truly become a San Francisco landmark, and the renovation of the Tower Building reaffirms our commitment to our guests as we honor the past and create new memories for decades to come.”

Vibrant, modern paintings and mixed media artwork by three San Francisco artists Derek Lynch, Kristin Kyono and Sandra Russell adds a local urban aesthetic throughout the suites and corridors, while guestroom artwork by Los Angeles painter Alex Couwenberg brings a touch of colorful Southern California culture.

A chaise lounge or a chair with an ottoman provides a comfortable place to relax in each room and the executive desks are the perfect workspace for the productive business traveler.
