History
The tower at 757 Market Street in SoMa was designed by Gary Edward Handel and Associates and completed in January 2001 as the first skyscraper finished in San Francisco in the twenty-first century — a coincidence of timing that gave Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco a distinctive place in the city's architectural record. The building occupies a choice position in the South of Market district, across from Yerba Buena Gardens and a short walk from SFMOMA, the Moscone Convention Center, and Union Square, putting it at the intersection of the city's commercial, cultural, and convention activity.
The hotel opened into the tail end of the first dot-com boom, and its proximity to the technology companies clustered south of Market Street and in Silicon Valley quickly established it as San Francisco's premier address for tech executives, venture capitalists, and the global technology industry's traveling leadership. In 2013, news reports indicated that Yahoo chief executive Marissa Mayer had been living in the hotel's 38th-floor penthouse suite with her family as her primary San Francisco residence — a detail that illustrated both the city's housing market pressures and the hotel's particular appeal to those who prioritized service and convenience over permanence.
The hotel shares a building with a 127,000-square-foot fitness facility that hotel guests can access, one of the most extensive health club resources attached to any luxury hotel in the country — courts, pool, spa, and an extensive range of athletic programming. In December 2025, Westbrook Partners sold the hotel to Blackstone Inc. for $130 million, continuing a pattern of institutional investment activity around San Francisco luxury hospitality in the years following the pandemic's disruption to the city's downtown economy.
Completed in 2001 as the first skyscraper of the 21st century finished in San Francisco, the tower anchors a block within the city's densest luxury hotel cluster, with the Ferry Building eighteen minutes on foot.
