The Westin St. Francis San Francisco on Union Square 335 Powell Street • San Francisco • CA 94102

Commonly referred to as the Grand Dame of Union Square, The Westin St. Francis has been a symbol of elegance in San Francisco for more than a century. Its many rooms, some featuring exquisite historic detailing and others reflecting more modern luxury, have hosted beautiful wedding ceremonies, grand receptions, and business events of all types.

In the hotel’s turn-of-the-century Landmark Building, you’ll find stunning ballrooms with gilt pillars, intricately carved ceilings, and more than a hundred years’ worth of history. They include: the Borgia Room, a jewel-box chamber with oak-paneled walls, a six-foot-tall marble fireplace, and a vaulted, delicately painted ceiling (originally the hotel’s chapel, it’s perfect for a wedding ceremony); the St. Francis Suite, just right for a smaller ceremony and reception; and the Colonial Room, appointed with Italian murals, elaborate candelabras, and gold-leafed columns separating regal opera balconies. Large events are held in the Grand Ballroom, which is easily transformed by your choice of décor and can accommodate up to 800 guests. Receptions often start with cocktails in the Colonial and Italian Rooms, then flow into the adjacent Grand Ballroom for the main affair.

If you prefer a more contemporary ambiance, hold your celebration on the newly renovated 32nd floor of the Tower Building, aptly named St. Francis Heights. Five glass elevators overlook spectacular downtown panoramas as they whisk guests up to this sky-high getaway. The two premier spaces, The Golden Gate Room and The Mission Bay Room, offer sophisticated settings along with breathtaking floor-to-ceiling views that extend from the Bay Bridge to the Golden Gate—the nighttime display of city lights is dazzling! All-new interiors reflect a modern design aesthetic with cream-toned walls, gold accents, and dark hardwood floors, while maintaining the integrity of original architectural elements such as detailed molding and coffered ceilings. The addition of specialty chairs, custom Wedgwood china, and your own private event concierge make having your wedding up here a sublime experience.

The possibilities at The Westin St. Francis are almost endless. Are you looking for Old San Francisco glamour or something more current? If you can’t decide, why not combine the past and the present with a ceremony in the St. Francis Suite followed by dinner and dancing in The Mission Bay Room at St. Francis Heights. Whatever spaces you select, your event will most certainly be magical.
