Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco at Embarcadero

A sky-high sanctuary with sweeping city & bay views

Perched atop a 48-story high-rise in downtown San Francisco, Four Seasons at Embarcadero claims the top floors for a boutique-style hotel that towers above the city — offering panoramic views of the skyline, the bay, and a tranquil escape above the fog line. Just steps from historic neighborhoods, the Ferry Building, Union Square, Chinatown, and the waterfront, the location blends city energy and convenience with elevated serenity. With modern design, spacious rooms and suites, and a refined atmosphere, the hotel suits visitors seeking luxury, convenience, and stellar vistas.

  • Spectacular Panoramic Views — Occupying the top floors of the 345 California Center tower, each room delivers sweeping city and bay views, making it among the best-view hotels in San Francisco.
  • Boutique-Hotel Feel in a Skyscraper — Despite being in a high-rise, the hotel maintains a boutique atmosphere, with a modest number of rooms and personalized service.
  • Central Downtown Location — Just minutes from the Ferry Building, waterfront piers, historic Jackson Square, Chinatown, North Beach, and Union Square — ideal for sightseeing, dining, and culture.
  • Refreshed & Stylish Interiors — After a full redesign, rooms and suites offer stylish, contemporary decor with calming palettes and high-end finishes.
  • Award-Winning Hospitality — Recently recognized with the “Two Michelin Keys” distinction, placing it among the top luxury hotel stays in the city.
  • Sky-High Experience Means Vertical Access — All accommodations are on upper floors in a skyscraper (not a low-rise villa). Elevator access is required.
  • Urban Stay — Not a Resort — This hotel focuses on city convenience, luxury service, and skyline views — not beach or countryside vibes.
  • Best for City Explorers or Business Travelers — Ideal base for exploring downtown SF, walking to waterfronts, or attending business meetings.
  • Request View-Oriented Rooms — For maximum impact, ask for higher-floor rooms facing the bay or skyline.

Rooms and suites are designed with a subdued, modern elegance — cool palettes, sleek furnishings, large windows and luxurious bathrooms. Suites and Private Terrace Suites offer larger living space, spa-style soaking tubs, and in some cases private terraces. The ambiance is contemporary and calm, offering exceptional comfort whether for business or leisure.

  • Orafo — The hotel’s signature dining destination. It brings Italian-inspired cuisine crafted from California’s best ingredients — an elegant, refined culinary experience that matches the hotel’s luxe character.
  • Skyline & Lounge Spaces — Guests can also enjoy cocktails, light meals, and sunset views in stylish lounges or common areas — perfect before a night out or after a day of exploring.
  • Skyline views and high-floor tranquility for city stays
  • Boutique-style hotel service with Four Seasons’ standards
  • Proximity to major transit, waterfront, dining, historic areas, and cultural sites
