The Grand Hyatt San Francisco is a skyscraper hotel located half a block north of Union Square in San Francisco, California. The 36-storey, 660 room 108 m (354 ft) tower was completed in 1972, as the Hyatt on Union Square and renamed the Grand Hyatt San Francisco in 1990.[5]

The hotel had 402 employees before the COVID-19 pandemic, dropping to 28 as of April 2021, mainly due to cancelled conventions in the city.[1] It was closed for around half of 2020, losing about $1 million per day during that time.[1]

[edit]

A fountain by Ruth Asawa is located outside the Grand Hyatt. The basin is made of bronze and has a bas-relief with scenes of San Francisco.[6]

2024 strike

[edit]

In September 2024, workers at the Grand Hyatt went on strike.[7][8] As of October 21, 2024, the strike remained ongoing.[9]
