SAN FRANCISCO
This spring, downtown San Francisco will debut a bit of something old and something very new with the opening of Hotel G.
Located on the corner of Geary and Mason Street near the city's Union Square neighborhood, the historic structure will open as a new hotel after an extensive redesign to all 13 floors and 153 guest rooms.
Guest rooms at Hotel G will welcome leisure and business travelers with a natural aesthetic, calming design and relaxed accommodations. Fog colored walls, wood finishes and earthy fabrics and textiles contrast with clean lines, pops of color and fair-trade accents and art. The furniture pays homage to the hotel's past with pieces ranging from Victorian settees, vintage schoolhouse chairs, banker's lamps and mid-century writing desks, while the amenities honor today's modern necessities with flat-screen SMART TVs, docking stations, Nespresso coffee makers and complimentary Wi-Fi.
Downstairs, the lobby will engage guests with an element of surprise and a modern look and feel. Frosted glass walls, patchwork tiled floors and two oversized metallic reception desks will be featured underneath double heighted ceilings; a vintage courthouse bench and plush, colorful armchairs will provide nooks to congregate or relax.
Additional hotel amenities will include a second-floor gym and nearby meeting room (of about 480 square feet) for casual get-togethers or formal board meetings.
A Historical Location
Originally built in 1909 as The Fielding hotel, the building featured 112 rooms across eight floors before the additional five floors were added in 1939.
During this transformation, many of the original hotel features will remain intact, including the cast iron staircase in guest corridor, wood and concrete flooring in all the rooms and hallways, and the building's original, exterior facade.
The historic hotel provides a perfect blend of old and new while offering a subtle sense of the laid-back, San Francisco-lifestyle. Property amenities include a fitness center, meeting room, complimentary Wi-Fi, 24-hour front desk service, "Beer and Bites" social hours and complimentary morning car services.
Hotel G is located just 30 minutes from San Francisco and Oakland International airports, and nearby attractions include Union Square, Moscone Center, San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art, Chinatown, AT&T Park and Fisherman's Wharf.
