San Francisco at Embarcadero
Sleek urban sky hotel. Financial District address with boutique scale. Contemporary interiors with natural wood floors, hand-tufted wool rugs, and details nodding to local streetcar architecture. Quieter and more intimate than most big-city Four Seasons properties.
Ask for a bay-facing room with a view toward Alcatraz — the Golden Gate view is stunning but the Alcatraz/bay angle is arguably more dramatic at night
Why It Matters
Highest guest rooms of any hotel in San Francisco — every room has a panoramic view of the bay or city. Earned two Michelin Keys for two consecutive years (2024 and 2025). Landmark architecture by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill with glass skybridges on most floors.
San Francisco's second Four Seasons sits on floors 38 to 48 of the 48-story 345 California Center tower — which means every single one of its 155 rooms has a view. Not a partial view, not a parking-lot view. The Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge, Alcatraz, the Transamerica Pyramid: it's all there framed by floor-to-ceiling glass. The building's Skidmore, Owings and Merrill architecture, with twin crowns angled at 45 degrees connected by glass skybridges, makes even the elevator lobbies worth a pause. Opened under the Four Seasons brand in 2020 after Westbrook Partners renovated the property, it's earned two Michelin Keys in both 2024 and 2025. No pool, no dedicated spa — but the views are the amenity.
Where You'll Stay
11 room types available
Bay-View Studio Suite
Studio layout at 575 sq ft — open-plan living and sleeping space with corner bay views. Designed to feel like a well-appointed SF apartment. No separate bedroom, but you get the extra space, a proper living area, and soaking tub.
One king bed · 53 sqm
Bridge-View One-Bedroom Suite
At 800 sq ft, this is the hotel's classic one-bedroom suite — full living room, separate private bedroom, two full bathrooms. Views stretch from the Golden Gate to the Bay Bridge. The layout genuinely feels like a chic SF apartment, which is exactly the point.
One king bed plus sofabed · 74 sqmDeluxe Bay-View Room
425 sq ft of bay-facing room with the better orientation. Views stretch toward Alcatraz, the Bay Bridge, and on clear days you can spot the Golden Gate in the distance. Rollaway on request.
One king bed · 39 sqmDeluxe Skyline-View Room
A step up in size to 425 sq ft with skyline views. More breathing room than the Superior category, and the larger footprint makes the furniture arrangement feel less compressed. Rollaway or crib available on request.
One king bed · 39 sqmGolden Gate Terrace Presidential Suite
The hotel's presidential suite at 1,200 sq ft, with a furnished terrace oriented squarely toward the Golden Gate Bridge. Full living room, private bedroom, and the terrace that makes this the preferred option for any occasion that needs a view to match the moment.
One king bed · 111 sqmGolden Gate-View Studio Suite
Same studio format as the Bay-View but with the premium orientation — corner views of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco Bay. The spa bath with views of the iconic bridge is the room's signature moment.
One king bed · 53 sqmPremier Bridge-View Room
The top of the guest room tier at 450 sq ft. Corner panoramas take in San Francisco Bay and the Bay Bridge — the 'bridge view' in the name. Expansive picture windows on two sides make this one feel significantly more spacious than the numbers suggest.
One king bed · 42 sqm
Skyline Terrace Signature Suite
1,200 sq ft of one-bedroom suite with a large furnished outdoor terrace. Residential-style living and dining area opens directly onto the terrace — panoramic skyline views including the Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge, Alcatraz, and Coit Tower. This is the hotel's al fresco entertaining option at the top end.
One king bed · 111 sqmSuperior Bay-View Room
Same footprint as the Skyline room but oriented toward the bay — you get the Bay Bridge or Golden Gate depending on your floor. Worth the modest upgrade if views matter to you, which at this hotel, they should.
One king or one queen bed · 33 sqmSuperior Skyline-View Room
The entry-level room at Embarcadero and, at 350 sq ft, it runs small even by urban luxury standards. Long, narrow layout. But the floor-to-ceiling windows delivering Financial District and skyline views earn it plenty of forgiveness. Natural wood floors, hand-tufted wool rug, custom furnishings.
One king or one queen bed · 33 sqmThe Landmark Suite
1,000 sq ft with a king bed, sofabed, and up to four guests. A more flexible layout for families or extended stays. Named for the landmark building it sits atop, and the views live up to the name.
