Description
The US$200 million hotel was designed by Patri Merker Architects, and Hornberger + Worstell with Webcor Builders as primary contractors and with Architectural Glass and Aluminum serving as the Glazing Contractor. At night, the tower's southern facade is illuminated, lighting the corner of Howard and 5th Streets, and is visible throughout the city and from miles away. The curtain wall system consists of glass and metal panels. A restaurant is located at street level and a full service spa and health club including a swimming pool is located on the sixth floor. A series of terraces provides open space areas, outdoor activities and separation from adjacent buildings allowing natural light and ventilation to reach the north side of the building. The building, with its 550 rooms, is the largest hotel to open in San Francisco since the 1,500 room San Francisco Marriott inaugurated in 1989. With the InterContinental open, the hotel operator will now apply for LEED Certification. The InterContinental San Francisco received an Award of Merit in the Hospitality category of the Best of 2008 Awards from California Construction.
Since the hotel's opening in 2008, it has played host to President Barack Obama, US Attorney General Michael Mukasey and former NYC Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.
