1 Hotels, the luxury lifestyle hotel brand inspired by nature, today announced

thoughtfully designed eco-friendly urban refuge.  Integrating the best of 
sustainable design and architecture with extraordinary comfort and an unrivaled

Centrally located on the Embarcadero, directly across the street from the 
luminous San Francisco Bay, 1 Hotel San Francisco was developed in partnership 
with Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. The property provides easy access to all the best 
downtown offers—from dining to shopping to arts and culture.  It neighbors the 
vibrant SoMa district, Chinatown, North Beach, Oracle Park, Chase Center, Coit 
Tower and the iconic Ferry Building.

"1 Hotel San Francisco is an inspiring example of what our brand stands for," 
said 1 Hotels Founder and CEO & Chairman of Starwood Capital Group Barry 
Sternlicht.  "It is a tangible extension of our vision and purpose: to place 
holistic wellness at the forefront of our operations for our guests, local 
communities, and the planet.  This vibrant and eclectic city has long been at 
the forefront of driving sustainable change in architecture and design.  
Inspired by that rich history, our goal is to infuse an urban oasis with the 
natural beauty of the Northern California landscape and the sensibility of this 
dynamic community."

"We are very excited to be partnering with the 1 Hotels team to bring a new 
level of service and luxury hospitality experience to San Francisco," said Jon 
E. Bortz, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel 
Trust.  "Pebblebrook is committed to ensuring our hotels are operated in an 
environmentally sustainable manner, and that the sociocultural fabric of the 
communities in which our properties reside is celebrated. As a leader in luxury 
sustainability, 1 Hotel San Francisco will also set a new standard of 
excellence for its commitment to sustainable initiatives and the greater San 
Francisco community."

The hotel pays homage to the regional environment throughout the urban oasis 
with an earth tone color palette, raw materials, and layered textures.  The 
reclaimed wood lobby floor is fashioned from lumber salvaged from historic 
barns and industrial buildings.  Sustainably sourced redwood salvaged from the 
original San Francisco Bay Bridge adorns elevator landings and corridors.  
Native greenery, exposed brick, warm terracotta accents, and rustic stones 
introduce elements of the natural world while referencing the city's unique 
urban ecology.  All hand-loomed rugs and carpets are created from natural plant 
fibers and recyclable wool.  Other features, including the bar, latticework, 
and bar façade, are created from concrete, responsibly crafted by a local 
family-run business amid salvaged driftwood artwork.

Terrene, the indoor-outdoor café & lounge offering shareable plates, echoes the 
refinement and natural simplicity of the 1 Hotels brand.  Drawing inspiration 
from the region's renowned legacy of culinary innovation, its menu is rooted in 
an abundance of local, fresh, organic, and sustainably-sourced natural 
ingredients.  Fresh ingredients for curated dishes and craft cocktails grow on 
the rooftop chef's garden while beehives facilitate on-site honey production.  
Terrene, which will open to the public later this summer, will showcase a 
comprehensive selection of organic tequilas and mezcals, alongside an 
assortment of biodynamic wines from the Sonoma and Napa Valley regions and 
local craft beer and microbrews.

The property offers guests the opportunity to relax and recharge in a unique 
urban sanctuary.  1 Hotel's holistic wellness philosophy aligns naturally with 
the brand's core values—true wellbeing is achieved when the mind, body, and 
spirit are fully connected to one's surrounding environment.  On-site 
facilities include a full-service Bamford wellness spa rooted in 1 Hotels' core 
mission of fostering a closer relationship with the natural world.  The Field 
House is open 24/7, featuring state-of-the-art weight training and cardio 
equipment, including Peloton bikes for personalized experiences.  Guests can 
enjoy the Audi Electric Vehicle Experience by taking advantage of the house car 
or test driving the Audi e-tron, the Official Electric Vehicle of 1 Hotel San 
Francisco, during their stay. 

1 Hotel San Francisco provides versatile settings for all types of events, 
meetings, and celebrations with 5,074 sq. ft. of one-of-a-kind indoor and 
outdoor meeting and event spaces.  These include a 1,750 sq. ft. ballroom, 
boardroom, and outdoor terraces perched on the hotel's upper floors, offering 
panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay. Private events may also be held in 
Terrene, with a lounge and a large patio overlooking the historic Embarcadero.
