Auberge Resorts Collection, the award-winning portfolio of one-of-a-kind luxury hotels, resorts and residences, announced today it will manage The Hearst Hotel, Auberge Resorts Collection, a piece of history in the heart of San Francisco. The downtown property is part of Auberge Resorts Collection's ongoing strategic expansion into city centers and its commitment to the long-term vibrancy and culture of downtown San Francisco. The Hearst-owned building, a 1911 landmark which is being redeveloped by leading San Francisco real estate investment and development firm, JMA Ventures, will be reborn as The Hearst Hotel, Auberge Resorts Collection. The hotel, in this iconic building with more than a century of fascinating stories to tell, will redefine luxury and inspire a new experience in the City by the Bay when it opens in 2023.
The Hearst Hotel is ideally situated at the intersection of Market Street and Third Street, where its newfound vibrancy and contemporary hospitality will create a dynamic social hub that captivates travelers and locals. Its unique blend of tradition and innovation will reflect the dramatic narrative and changing fortunes of San Francisco. The neighborhood in which it is situated has long been known for its architectural grandeur and historic significance alongside a modern mix of shopping, business and award-winning dining experiences.
Built in 1911 and home to the San Francisco Examiner until the 1960s, The Hearst Building features Spanish Revival style construction, Tennessee Pink marble on the lower floors and a terra cotta façade reaching to the roof parapet. In 1938, famed architect Julia Morgan was retained by Hearst to complete a remodel of the entryway, the façade—which showcases 20 cast bronze medallions of fanciful animals and a distinctive crest above the front entry—and other notable architectural details. Morgan, who was born in the Bay Area and was Hearst's principal architect on the design of Hearst Castle, was a pioneer in her field, having been the first woman to receive the American Institute of Architects' highest award, the AIA Gold Medal and her work continues to inspire today.
Following an extensive interior renovation and redesign, the 13-story landmarked building will open as The Hearst Hotel, Auberge Resorts Collection, a 150-room hotel, complete with an Auberge Spa, grand lobby, social spaces, destination restaurant and rooftop bar with a unique perspective of the city. Among the guest accommodations will be 14 suites.
