Housed inside a landmark flatiron building at the intersection of three bustling San Francisco streets, the hotel is a picture of nostalgia-toned Beaux Arts architecture complete with a rooftop terrace and sweeping views of the cityscape. Completed in 1904 by local architect Albert Pissis it is now included on the National Register of Historic Places.
Recently restored with painstaking attention to original details the hotel interior has been created by designer Kelly Wearstler. The building’s lavish Beaux Arts bones informed Wearstler’s subsequent reimagining of the interiors. Taking a cue from early pre-modernist European styles, the design brings together the Old World with the new in the form of rich textures and deep hues — a wildly colourful feast for the senses.
The textures have been created in Substance Painter and Designer specifcally for this model to give it a high quality, realist look.
