Rosewood Hotels and Resorts has confirmed it will open a property in San Francisco in 2026.

The hotel group has been selected by F4 Transbay Partners - a joint venture of international real estate firm Hines, real estate developers Urban Pacific and the real estate business within Goldman Sachs Asset Management - to manage the upcoming property. 

Rosewood San Francisco will occupy 15 floors of a 61-storey building in the Transbay district, close to landmarks including the Salesforce Park, a large outdoor area with an amphitheatre, children’s play area, walking trails and art installations. 

The tower is said to be one of the last of greater downtown San Francisco’s skyscraper developments for the foreseeable future and one of three projects with a direct connection to the Salesforce Park via a pedestrian skybridge.

Alongside the hotel, the tower will feature residences, office and retail space and a large pedestrian area.

Rosewood San Francisco will offer 180 guest rooms and suites with locally inspired design by Joyce Wang Studio and views of the city and the adjacent park. 

Amenities will include Rosewood’s wellness concept Asaya; a fitness and movement studio with an indoor lap pool; a signature indoor-outdoor restaurant; a patisserie ; event spaces; a living room and the Manor Club, the brand’s signature private lounge concept.

“As one of the most dynamic and innovative cities in North America, San Francisco offers an eclectic mix of culture, cuisine, art, technology and adventure, and is an ideal destination for the Rosewood brand,” said Sonia Cheng, chief executive of Rosewood Hotel Group. 

“We are thrilled to be a part of this revolutionary new development and look forward to providing our affluential explorers and San Franciscans alike with a stylish and refined new icon to enjoy for years to come.”

Douglas Metzler, chief executive of West Region for Hines, added: “Rosewood is an ideal partner for this project and will create a one-of-a-kind destination for those who call the Bay Area home, as well as those who travel there for business and pleasure.

“The Rosewood collection represents the pinnacle of luxury hotels, inspired by the culture, history and geography of each locale, and we are thrilled to bring their unique vision to this iconic development in the Transbay district.”

Rosewood San Francisco will join the brand’s two existing Californian properties, including Rosewood Sand Hill in Menlo Park and Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito. 

The hotel group currently manages 26 luxury hotels, resorts and residences and has a further 26 properties under development.
