The San Francisco Marriott Marquis is a 133 m (436 ft) 39-story skyscraper in the South of Market neighborhood of San Francisco, California. Situated at the intersection of Fourth and Mission Streets, across from the Metreon and Moscone Convention Center, the building is recognizable by the distinctive postmodern appearance of its high-rise tower. The building was completed in 1989, and contains 1,500 hotel rooms.^[4] The original architectural firm Zeidler Partnership Architects was replaced by DMJM architect Anthony J Lumsden, who gave the building its overall architectural style.^[5] The San Francisco Marriott is the second tallest hotel in San Francisco, after Hilton San Francisco Tower I.

History

The hotel was at the heart of the city of San Francisco's development of the central blocks in the South of Market area during the late 1970s and early 1980s.^[6] The city had put out an invitation to property developers to come up with ideas for the area. Ten developers originally responded and the eventual proposal chosen - in October 1980 - was a joint effort by Marriott together with the Canadian property developers Olympia and York.^{[citation needed]}

The Marriott Marquis opened on October 17, 1989, the day of the Loma Prieta earthquake.^[7] With better earthquake proofing than several nearby hotels, the building only lost a single window.^[7]

On November 24, 2024, about 500 employees at the San Francisco Marriot Marquis, who are also members of UNITE HERE's Local 2 chapter, went on strike.^[8]^[9]

In popular culture

Local newspaper columnist Herb Caen complained that reflections from the hotel's windows blinded him in his office at the nearby Chronicle building, and compared its shape to that of a jukebox.^[7]
