One hotel, appropriately named the 1 Hotel San Francisco , has stood out. Here, Ashley Gochnauer, the area general manager of the 1 Hotel San Francisco, told T&C all about the best room on the property. What do you consider to be the best room at the 1 Hotel San Francisco and why? The transformation of the former Hotel Vitale into 1 Hotel San Francisco was a complete reimagining of the property. A standout design feature at 1 Hotel San Francisco is the use of reclaimed redwood from the Old San Francisco Bay Bridge throughout the property.
