Nestled in the historic Nob Hill neighbourhood, the Ritz Carlton San Francisco is in a designated heritage building. The building first opened in 1909 as the Pacific Coast headquarters of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and after several changes and renovations over the decades, reopened in 1991 as the Ritz Carlton.

The landmark u-shaped building has a 17-column neo-classical façade, stretching between California and Pine along Stockton. Today, the Ritz Carlton San Francisco proudly showcases its heritage while offering all the modern amenities, artful touches, and lavish furnishings signifying its prestige.
