The place
433 Clay Street, at Battery and Clay in the Jackson Square neighborhood, connected to the Embarcadero Center by a pedestrian bridge.
The concept
A full renovation of the 25-story former Le Méridien San Francisco, designed by architect John C. Portman Jr., into a 360-room Autograph Collection hotel. Interiors by AvroKO draw on San Francisco artists, innovators and notable residents rather than a single design theme, inside a distinctively Brutalist tower.
Dining & wellness
Three in-house dining concepts: The Third Floor and The Terrace for all-day California cuisine, and Prelude for cocktails, alongside 16,000 sq ft of meeting space.
