Hotel Description
The Union Square is a superior, tourist class hotel, located on the historic antique cable-car line, in the heart of the city's shopping haven. Built in 1913 for the Pan American Exposition, the building holds a nostalgic and impressive history. Today it has a spectacular new look designed by Colum McCartan of Carta Design Group. Awakened by a dynamic, bold and current interior, contemporary European furnishings are energized by colorful and theatrical fabrics. Modern influences from designers such as Charles Rennie Macintosh are enlivened by rich jewel toned textiles and dramatic original artwork showcasing a bygone San Francisco.

Each guest room, all highly stylized in decor, has been newly decorated and possesses all the modern necessities. Infused with bold and contemporary interiors, rooms have three distinct color palettes, alternating on each floor and incorporating deep rich colors of claret, eggplant, golden yellows, and, ochre greens. These colors are paired with modern cherry wood cabinetry that introduces linear and wavelike lines. Influenced by current European concepts, the result is sophisticated yet casual. The walls, upholstery, and bedding lend a colorful backdrop to original artwork depicting San Francisco's most celebrated scenes. Gladys Perint Palmer, a renowned fashion illustrator, was commissioned to create original canvas drawings exclusively for the Hotel Union Square. The hotel is minutes from fine dining, shopping and entertainment.
