TheSan Francisco Marriott Marquis is a 133 m (436 ft) 39-storyskyscraper in theSouth of Market neighborhood ofSan Francisco,California. Situated at the intersection of Fourth andMission Streets, across from theMetreon andMoscone Convention Center, the building is recognizable by the distinctivepostmodern appearance of its high-rise tower. The building was completed in 1989, and contains 1,500 hotel rooms.[4] The original architectural firm Zeidler Partnership Architects was replaced by DMJM architectAnthony J Lumsden, who gave the building its overall architectural style.[5] The San Francisco Marriott is the second tallest hotel in San Francisco, afterHilton San Francisco Tower I.
The hotel was at the heart of the city of San Francisco's development of the central blocks in theSouth of Market area during the late 1970s and early 1980s.[6] The city had put out an invitation to property developers to come up with ideas for the area. Ten developers originally responded and the eventual proposal chosen - in October 1980 - was a joint effort by Marriott together with the Canadian property developersOlympia and York.[4]
The Marriott Marquis opened on October 17, 1989, the day of theLoma Prieta earthquake.[7] With better earthquake proofing than several nearby hotels, the building only lost a single window.[7]
On November 24, 2024, about 500 employees at the San Francisco Marriot Marquis, who are also members ofUNITE HERE's Local 2 chapter, went on strike.[8][9] As of December 2, 2024, the strike remained ongoing, and was also expected to last past the upcoming holidays.[10] On December 24, 2024, a four-year labor agreement was ratified, thus bringing the strike to an end.[11]
Local newspaper columnistHerb Caen complained that reflections from the hotel's windows blinded him in his office at the nearbyChronicle building, and compared its shape to that of ajukebox.[7]
