San Francisco Proper

Set within a landmark 1904 Beaux-Arts flatiron building designed by celebrated architect Albert Pissis—whose work helped shape San Francisco’s architectural identity during the city’s transformation following the 1906 earthquake—San Francisco Proper offers an unforgettable setting where the city’s storied past meets its creative, forward-thinking spirit. Located directly across the street from The Hibernia, one of San Francisco’s most iconic event venues, the hotel is an ideal complement to larger programs, offering stylish accommodations, distinctive gathering spaces, and elevated hospitality just steps from the main event. Behind its historic brick, stone, and terracotta façade, the 131-room hotel unfolds as a richly layered world imagined by internationally acclaimed designer Kelly Wearstler. Her signature blend of bold colors, collected art, sumptuous textures, vintage furnishings, and contemporary influences is woven throughout every corner, creating a cozy, timeless atmosphere that feels transportive yet unmistakably San Francisco. From executive meetings and fireside conversations to elegant luncheons, afternoon teas, convention receptions, and partial or full buyouts, every gathering feels considered and distinctly personal. Guests can dine beneath the soaring ceilings of Villon, connect over cocktails and sweeping city views at Charmaine’s rooftop, or transform one of the hotel’s character-filled private spaces into an experience entirely their own. With inspired culinary offerings, thoughtful service, and design that sparks conversation at every turn, San Francisco Proper invites planners to create memorable events that guests will continue talking about long after the final toast.
