The St. Regis San Francisco, a beacon of luxury and elegance, has recently unveiled its latest series of renovations, redefining the intersection of modern design and historical architecture. This multi-phase refresh, led by London-based Blacksheep and Toronto-based Chapi Chapo Design, has transformed the guestrooms, public spaces, including the lobby, bar, and meeting spaces, and introduced a new onsite eatery set to open later this spring.
A Fusion of Past and Present in Design
The redesign of the St. Regis San Francisco speaks to a unique narrative where modern design elements intertwine with the city's storied past. Michele Owen, an associate interior designer at Blacksheep, describes the design as a blend of patterns and linework that echo the engineering feats of San Francisco's history and its evolution into a modern tech hub. The color palette draws inspiration from the Pacific Ocean blues and the warm pastels of the Bay's sunrises and sunsets, while metallic touches mimic the sunlight dancing across the city.
A Welcoming Reception with Artistic Flair
Upon entering the reception area, visitors are greeted by a stunning chandelier and a captivating painting by Randy Hibberd, featuring a golden abstract rendition of the city. This artistic expression continues in the dining area with a dreamy watercolor painting, combining rich olive green with lighter pink notes, creating an atmosphere of serene elegance.
The St. Regis Bar: A Northern California Oasis
The St. Regis Bar has been transformed to evoke a distinctive Northern California flair. The space's new materiality, featuring soft metallics, dark green, and dusty rose-pink upholstery, pays homage to San Francisco's iconic vistas and trolley lines. A sweeping brass trellis wraps the lounge area, while custom tables with sculptural stone bases and brass details infuse a contemporary ethos into the modern noir ambiance.
Luxurious Guestrooms and Suites
The hotel's 260 guestrooms and suites have undergone a comprehensive overhaul under the guidance of Chapi Chapo. Each room has been reinvigorated with custom furniture, new technology, and thoughtful color and material palettes that recall the California landscape. The soft curves of newly installed wallcoverings echo the forms of the city’s rolling hills, complemented by silver, copper, and iron tones.
