RIU Hotels coming to San Francisco
RIU Hotels & Resorts has planted its flag in the heart of San Francisco’s tourism district.
It acquired a new property which has undergone a complete refurbishment, and reopens as Riu Plaza Fisherman’s Wharf on November 12.
It becomes the third US hotel in the Riu Plaza brand portfolio.
The property was previously a Sheraton.
It features 531 guestrooms, a bar and restaurant and meeting space.
The hotel’s existing executive room will soon be rebranded to become the Crown Level Lounge, although the company expects the majority of guests will be staying for leisure.
"This project is great news for RIU and for the consolidation of our line of Riu Plaza urban hotels. San Francisco is a great city with a very competitive hotel market and this acquisition places us in one of the best neighborhoods," said Luis Riu, CEO of RIU Hotels & Resorts.
