salvaged from the original San Francisco
Bay Bridge while all the hand-loomed
rugs and carpets were created with
natural plant fibers and recyclable wool.
For the bar, latticework and bar façade,
the design team opted for a responsibly
crafted concrete.
"1 Hotel San Francisco is a tangible
extension of our vision and purpose: to
place holistic wellness at the forefront
of our operations for our guests, local
communities, and the planet," says 1
Hotels founder and CEO and Chair-
man of Starwood Capital Group Barry
Sternlicht. "This vibrant and eclectic city
has long been at the forefront of driving
sustainable change in architecture and
design. Inspired by that rich history, our
goal is to infuse an urban oasis with the
natural beauty of the Northern California
landscape and the sensibility of this
dynamic community."
Native greenery, exposed brick, stones
and terracotta complement the peace-
ful and earthy palette inspired by the
surroundings.
In the indoor-outdoor cafe and lounge
Terrene, the natural theme continues
through the menu, which includes fresh
ingredients grown in the chef's garden
on the rooftop. Organic tequilas and
mezcals, biodynamic wines from the
Sonoma and Napa Valley regions, and
local craft beer and microbrews pair
perfectly with the food.
As every aspect matters, it was just as
important to reduce the shipping footprint
as much as possible for this project. Most
of the design and decor pieces come
from the United States, including the
wooden totem (from Colorado) and the
hand-blown glass sconces (from New
York) in the lobby; as well as the side
tables (from Ohio), the chandelier and
lanterns (from downtown Los Angeles)
and the stools (from Atlanta) in the lounge.
With its many textures, the interior design
of 1 Hotel San Francisco pays tribute to
the fascinating simplicity of nature in an
urban environment that soothes the soul.
