The JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square is a luxury hotel in San Francisco, California.[2] It is owned by Park Hotels & Resorts.
History[edit]
The hotel was designed and built by architect and developer John Portman, and opened in 1987 as The Portman. It was sold on June 1, 1990 to Pan Pacific Hotels, a division of the Tokyu Corporation, which renamed it The Pan Pacific Hotel San Francisco.[3] On August 10, 2003, Tokyu sold the hotel to San Francisco-based Oxford Lodging[4] for $45 million. Pan Pacific was retained to manage the hotel. On February 23, 2006, Oxford sold the hotel to Ashford Hospitality Trust, for $95 million.[5] On April 19, 2006, Ashford announced that they had concluded a management deal with Marriott International, and the hotel was placed in their JW Marriott brand and renamed JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square.[6]
In 2011, Ashford sold the hotel to Thayer Lodging for $96 million.[7] Thayer then sold the property to Chesapeake Lodging Trust in 2014 for $147 million.[8] Chesapeake was acquired by Park Hotels & Resorts in 2019.[9]
