Centrally located on the Embarcadero, directly across the street from the

luminous San Francisco Bay, 1 Hotel San Francisco was developed in partnership

with Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. The property provides easy access to all the best

downtown offers—from dining to shopping to arts and culture.  It neighbors the

vibrant SoMa district, Chinatown, North Beach, Oracle Park, Chase Center, Coit

Tower and the iconic Ferry Building.

"1 Hotel San Francisco is an inspiring example of what our brand stands for,"

said 1 Hotels Founder and CEO & Chairman of Starwood Capital Group Barry

Sternlicht.  "It is a tangible extension of our vision and purpose: to place

holistic wellness at the forefront of our operations for our guests, local

communities, and the planet.  This vibrant and eclectic city has long been at

the forefront of driving sustainable change in architecture and design.  

Inspired by that rich history, our goal is to infuse an urban oasis with the

natural beauty of the Northern California landscape and the sensibility of this

dynamic community."

"We are very excited to be partnering with the 1 Hotels team to bring a new

level of service and luxury hospitality experience to San Francisco," said Jon

E. Bortz, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel

Trust.  "Pebblebrook is committed to ensuring our hotels are operated in an

environmentally sustainable manner, and that the sociocultural fabric of the

communities in which our properties reside is celebrated. As a leader in luxury

sustainability, 1 Hotel San Francisco will also set a new standard of

excellence for its commitment to sustainable initiatives and the greater San

Francisco community."

The hotel pays homage to the regional environment throughout the urban oasis

with an earth tone color palette, raw materials, and layered textures.  The

reclaimed wood lobby floor is fashioned from lumber salvaged from historic

barns and industrial buildings.  Sustainably sourced redwood salvaged from the

original San Francisco Bay Bridge adorns elevator landings and corridors.  

Native greenery, exposed brick, warm terracotta accents, and rustic stones

introduce elements of the natural world while referencing the city's unique

urban ecology.  All hand-loomed rugs and carpets are created from natural plant

fibers and recyclable wool.  Other features, including the bar, latticework,

and bar façade, are created from concrete, responsibly crafted by a local

family-run business amid salvaged driftwood artwork.

Terrene, the indoor-outdoor café & lounge offering shareable plates, echoes the

refinement and natural simplicity of the 1 Hotels brand.  Drawing inspiration

from the region's renowned legacy of culinary innovation, its menu is rooted in

an abundance of local, fresh, organic, and sustainably-sourced natural

ingredients.  Fresh ingredients for curated dishes and craft cocktails grow on

the rooftop chef's garden while beehives facilitate on-site honey production.  

Terrene, which will open to the public later this summer, will showcase a

comprehensive selection of organic tequilas and mezcals, alongside an

assortment of biodynamic wines from the Sonoma and Napa Valley regions and

local craft beer and microbrews.

The property offers guests the opportunity to relax and recharge in a unique

urban sanctuary.  1 Hotel's holistic wellness philosophy aligns naturally with

the brand's core values—true wellbeing is achieved when the mind, body, and

spirit are fully connected to one's surrounding environment.  On-site

facilities include a full-service Bamford wellness spa rooted in 1 Hotels' core

mission of fostering a closer relationship with the natural world.  The Field

House is open 24/7, featuring state-of-the-art weight training and cardio

equipment, including Peloton bikes for personalized experiences.  Guests can

enjoy the Audi Electric Vehicle Experience by taking advantage of the house car

or test driving the Audi e-tron, the Official Electric Vehicle of 1 Hotel San

Francisco, during their stay.

1 Hotel San Francisco provides versatile settings for all types of events,

meetings, and celebrations with 5,074 sq. ft. of one-of-a-kind indoor and

outdoor meeting and event spaces.  These include a 1,750 sq. ft. ballroom,

boardroom, and outdoor terraces perched on the hotel's upper floors, offering

panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay. Private events may also be held in

Terrene, with a lounge and a large patio overlooking the historic Embarcadero.
