The Hyatt Regency San Francisco has unveiled its newly redesigned spaces following a multimillion-dollar renovation from Dallas-based firm Looney Associates.
An enhanced entryway welcomes guests with new signage, architectural sconces, tall green hedges, and laser-cut metal screens. The Bay level is home to several meeting spaces with new custom carpeting, rich walnut entry doors, and modern furniture. The revitalized third-floor lobby radiates energy with wall-to-ceiling canopies wrapped in handcrafted wallcovering and inset lighting. Warm walnut desks greet visitors at check-in, and the existing gray concrete foundation is enlivened with neutral tones, supple fabrics, and contemporary patterns. New wood alcoves establish private workspaces while intimate seating enclaves have been carved into the existing concrete planter and include walnut floors, metal cable canopies, and custom lighting.
A dramatic new light sculpture has replaced the former lobby water feature. Spanning more than 130 feet, the piece is aglow with 400 custom lights inspired by mining lanterns. A collection of 132 vintage hotel bells is framed in polished granite behind the bell desk while the concierge desk makes an impact with a freestanding, double-sided wall that showcases 5,000 recycled beer bottles designed to resemble the Bay Area as viewed from space.
The lobby’s Eclipse Kitchen & Bar has also been redesigned with freestanding wooden walls that divide the expansive environment into both intimate and communal arrangements. Open, blackened steel shelving displays modern literature and vintage memorabilia, while round and wood-plank barrel booths evoke Northern California wine country. Clad in dark marble, rich wood, and recycled metal, the large bar makes a statement with a metal cable and light sculpture inspired by the moon over the iconic Bay Bridge.
Four of the hotel’s 45 suites have been revamped into themed rooms inspired by well-known San Franciscans in tech, music, photography, and acting. Each suite is tailored with distinctly localized finishes, furnishings, and artwork.
