The Best U.S. Hotel Openings of 2023
The Jay, San Francisco
In San Francisco’s Financial District, the former Le Méridien has been transformed into the Jay. Situated in a 1989 John Portman-designed building, the 360-room hotel features a revamp by AvroKO that blurs the lines between Brutalism and modernism while paying homage to the people who shaped the city, including artist Ruth Asawa and author Peggy Caserta, responsible for the bell-bottoms craze.
