The Westin St. Francis to Get Extreme Makeover
A couple weeks ago we wrote about the tired-looking Westin St Francis. We don't want to assume we are some kind of soothsaying project of visionaries, but let's just say we found it very interesting that the grand dame of San Francisco has just announced they are undergoing a $40 million renovation anticipated to be complete in Spring 2009.
Starting on the ground floor, the lobby renovation is headed up by none other than Jesus-for-hospitality-design, Rockwell Group. The lobby will take on a modern palette with blues and browns for the color scheme and guests will notice a cooler, more hip feel (picture hanging edison bulbs and sleek couches.)
However, the traditional aspects that made the hotel famous in the first place will still be honored such as glass and metal reproductions of the lobby's original globe chandeliers.
