Hotel to illuminate a five-day countdown on its exterior leading up to the hotel’s opening.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — On Monday, May 24, Hilton San Francisco Union Square Hotel, the largest hotel in San Francisco and on the West Coast, will reopen its doors and welcome back guests for the first time in over a year. Throughout the pandemic, the 46-tower property has displayed an illuminated heart and “S.F” to honor the city and serve as a sign of hope and solidarity for the San Francisco community. In celebration of the hotel’s reopening, the hotel will launch a five-day countdown illuminated on the hotel’s exterior as it gets ready to reopen its doors.
“Throughout the pandemic, in addition to offering a little bit of warmth and light to San Francisco, we also wanted to stand in support with our community to let them know that we would get through this,” said Terry Lewis, complex general manager, Hilton San Francisco Union Square Hotel. “As recovery continues, travel restrictions lift and we get ready to reopen our doors, we wanted to send a message of excitement and anticipation to our city with our hotel reopening countdown. It’s an important message for not only our guests, but the many surrounding businesses in our neighborhood letting them know that we’re back and ready to welcome them even at a safe distance.”
As the City by the Bay reopens to visitors, many activities near the hotel have already opened, including the Asian Art Museum, Westfield Shopping Center, and the famous Alcatraz Island Tours, which are just a fun Cable Car ride from the hotel. The hotel’s grab-and-go picnic baskets from Herb N’ Kitchen Marketplace are perfect for guests to enjoy while touring San Francisco’s beautiful city sights.
