Hotel Opening: Grand Hyatt at SFO
It’s not often we get excited about an airport hotel. But there are a few exceptions including the Grand Hyatt DFW.
As of this week, the much anticipated $237 million luxury Grand Hyatt at SFO is now open. The hotel is the only on-airport hotel at San Francisco International Airport. The Grand Hyatt at SFO sits on 4.2-acres and features 351 rooms including 22 suites.
As described by Hyatt: “The Grand Hyatt at SFO is directly connected to all airport terminals with its own dedicated, newly constructed AirTrain station, Grand Hyatt at SFO serves as a captivating destination within a destination and elevated respite for corporate business travelers as well as leisure guests to bypass the airport bustle.”
The hotel will have two dining options plus the Grand Club, which will be available for club room guest and globalists.
Quail & Crane, the hotel’s 108-seat signature restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, boasts an open kitchen and expansive communal dining with wood floors and ceilings. Executive Chef Jesse McDannel has created a bold, multicultural menu that speaks to both the bounty of Northern California and the cooking practices and traditions of Asia. The restaurant design feels uniquely linked to the Bay Area with a direct connection to the local landscape. Accenting the experience is artwork inspired by regional landscapes and materials, resulting in one-of-a-kind pieces that feel honest, crafted, and exclusive to the Bay Area.
Twin Crafts Market & Bar is a multifunctional lounge with a 24/7 market for “on-the-go” provisions including breakfast, salads and hand-crafted sandwiches. The cocktail bar, open from 10:00 a.m. through midnight, serves up burgers, oysters on the half shell and salads, paired perfectly with cocktails, California wines and local craft beers. For dining in-room, guests may place an order for chef-inspired entrees and appetizers from the hotel’s 24-hour room service menu. The design is inspired from the Bay Area’s cityscape; details emulating urban life, from grid topography and textures, mixed eclectic architecture and cable car-inspired light fixtures to street inspired artwork, together transports guests outside SFO.
The hotel will also be available for day-use. Travelers will have the opportunity to reserve a micro stay in the hotel’s day-use rooms – the perfect solution for fly-in, fly-out conferences and daytime layovers. Day-use rates start at $125 for access to guestrooms for six hours between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.
The Grand Hyatt at SFO is a Category 5 World of Hyatt property. That means you’ll need 20,k000 points for a free night. From a quick search, nightly rates start between $200 and $250.
P.S. Aviation geeks will love this hotel. It offers great views of the airport. And the hotel has plane spotter guides and binoculars available for guests!
