The Hilton San Francisco Union Square has completed $26 million
in renovations to its guestrooms, lobby, Cityscape lounge and Urban Tavern
restaurant.
The 1,919-room hotel, which is the West Coast's largest, has
improved outlet access in the guest rooms of its Tower Two while upgrading the
rooms with noise-cancelling windows. Additionally, the bathrooms upgraded their
lighting systems.
Other improvements include Cityscape, the 46th-floor lounge
that affords guests 360-degree views of the city and out to the Golden Gate
Bridge. About $6 million was spent improving the hotel's 30,000-square-foot
lobby.
Additionally, the hotel announced that it will share certain
services with the 1,024-room Parc 55 -- A Hilton Hotel, which is two blocks
away. The hotels will offer reciprocal billing and provide guests access to
each other's meeting spaces.
In all, about $130 million has been spent on hotel upgrades
during the past eight years.
The hotel, which has 134,000 square feet of meeting space,
was constructed in 1964 and received additions in 1972 and 1987.
