1 Hotel San Francisco
Earthy-luxe urban sanctuary. Think raw natural materials, muted organic palette, potted plants everywhere, and a woodsy custom scent of tree moss, eucalyptus, cedar and oakwood. The lobby hums with a mix of designer-clad tech execs, international travelers, and SF locals stopping by Terrene for happy hour. Laid-back but genuinely stylish.
The $48/night amenity fee covers e-bikes, the Audi house car, and all fitness classes — actually worth it if you use any of these
Why It Matters
Awarded a 2025 MICHELIN Key. LEED Gold certified. Opened 2022 on the Embarcadero with 186 rooms and 14 suites, the brand's most location-perfect property. Interior materials sourced from reclaimed San Francisco infrastructure. Bamford Wellness Spa with outdoor stone soaking tubs on a rooftop terrace overlooking the waterfront. Complimentary electric bike fleet and Audi e-tron house car included in the daily amenity fee.
1 Hotel San Francisco sits right on the Embarcadero waterfront, steps from the historic Ferry Building, with unobstructed views of the Bay Bridge and San Francisco Bay. Opened in June 2022, it's the sustainable-luxury brand's most natural home yet — a LEED Gold-certified, MICHELIN Key-awarded property where reclaimed redwood from the old San Francisco Bridge lines the elevator landings and over 7,000 square feet of reclaimed barn wood covers the lobby floor. The eco credentials are real, not performative: non-toxic organic mattresses, filtered water taps on every floor, five-minute shower timers in every bathroom, paper hangers in closets, and a rooftop chef's garden that actually feeds the restaurant.
