History
Kimpton Hotel Enso occupies an eight-story building at 1800 Sutter Street in the heart of San Francisco's Japantown, originally constructed in 1975 and long operated as the Buchanan Hotel. After owner KHP Capital Partners shelved an earlier plan to convert the property into affordable housing, the 131-room hotel was reflagged and relaunched as Kimpton Hotel Enso in late 2022.
Its name draws on the Japanese Zen concept of the ensō — the hand-drawn circle symbolizing enlightenment and the beauty of imperfection — reflecting the hotel's Japantown setting and design sensibility.
