1 Hotel opened on Wednesday in the former Hotel Vitale on Mission Street and is preserving the historic space while focusing on sustainability, 1 Hotel said in a press release. The hotel has 186 rooms, 14 suites, a large restaurant and a Bamford Wellness Spa.
The hotel integrates a sustainable design by using "reclaimed redwood from the original San Francisco Bay Bridge" on elevator landings and various corridors, the release said. In their lobby shop, they showcase different local makers like Vintner's Daughter, Melanie Abrantes Designs and the Foggy Dog.
The restaurant, Terrene, will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with Mediterranean flavors. It offers shareable plates with fresh local ingredients.
The hotel is opening when San Francisco's tourism industry is recovering from the coronavirus pandemic. During the first quarter of 2022, the city's tourism bureau told the San Francisco Chronicle that hotel demand was up 188% compared to the same time in 2021.
The new hotel is owned by SH Hotels & Resorts and is the first hotel in the Bay Area owned by the international luxury hotel chain, the newspaper said.
