An art wall entry vestibule will lead guests to a jump-elevator that will take them to the third floor check-in/check-out area. This “living room” space includes double-height ceilings, bookshelves, and a 24/7 canteenM bar. Guest rooms will include XL king size beds, wall-to-wall windows, HD TVs with a library of on-demand movies, and free WiFi. Each room will also feature an iPad that controls the blinds, the TV, the thermostat, and the lights.
citizenM San Francisco Union Square is designed by Amsterdam-based Concrete and Gensler. Webcor is the general contractor.
