Grand Hyatt at San Francisco Airport to Open in October

A Hyatt reception area

Hyatt Hotels announced it will open a Grand Hyatt at San Francisco International Airport later this year.

The 12-story hotel replaces the 1959 Hilton Inn at SFO, which was known for its digital clock tower that loomed over Highway 101.  It closed in 1998 to make room for new freeway exit ramps. The new Hyatt is located next to the International Terminal and has its own AirTrain station that leads directly to the fourth floor lobby.  It looks out on the large apron area behind the International Terminal, offering fantastic views of aircraft taking off, landing, and taxiing.

The hotel offers day rooms, massage treatments, a yoga studio, and a fitness center.  Guest rooms feature a modern décor with floor-to-ceiling soundproofed windows.

BraytonHughes Design Studios was responsible for the hotel’s lobby, guest rooms, public areas, and meeting spaces, while RoseBernard Studio designed the restaurants including Quail and Crane and the Twin Crafts Market and Bar.
