Sophisticated and contemporary at a glance, here, local history weaves through every corner. 1 Hotel is crafted from a melting pot of materials taken from San Francisco’s agricultural and industrial past, and overlooks the ever-changing San Francisco Bay, where old continues to inspire new. Across the street, the Ferry Building harbours a food-lovers’ fanfare in a refreshing addition to the active marine terminal. Hog Island Oyster and Hogs Roadside (to name a few) form a feast for the senses, complete with a thrice-weekly farmers market. This is the place to really get a taste of local life.

Foodie favourite restaurant Terrene and its outdoor terrace sit on the hotel’s ground floor, serving up a sustainably sourced fare. Delectable dishes are paired with cocktails named after local neighbourhoods. Welcoming residents and tourists alike, this spirited spot adds a little zest to an otherwise tranquil space. And this is further complemented by the ‘Hotel Happenings’ weekly lineup, an array of activities to suit the fitness fanatics to the give-it-a-go-ers and everyone in between. It covers floral design, E-bike excursions, zero-waste mixology, DJ sessions and even sunrise yoga.
