Hyatt Regency - San Francisco

Modern architectural icon on the waterfront

The 805-room Hyatt sits on a plaza next to an upscale shopping center, across from the Ferry Building, cable cars, and the bay.

Entry halls lead to 400-square-foot rooms appointed with dark-wood dressers, gray/green bedspreads, and sliding-glass doors.

Cylindrical glass elevators rise above the 17-story atrium to a revolving rooftop restaurant/bar with 360-degree views.
