Announcing the New Buchanan Hotel

The Buchanan finished putting on the finishing touches of its new look this February 29, 2016, becoming the newest Kimpton hotel in the brand's hometown of San Francisco. This new boutique property fulfills the city's need for a hip, boutique hotel perfectly situated amidst the chic shopping and dining neighborhood of Pacific Heights and the authentic Japantown chock-full of hidden gems. This unique neighborhood pied-a-terre was erected upon the footprint of the existing Hotel Tomo; its 131 guest rooms now emanate the warmth and style of a chic, urban apartment, steps away from some of the best food, shopping, drinking and entertainment San Francisco has to offer. The Buchanan provides an urban respite, laced with a sophisticated, sultry design scheme and echoing the neighborhood influence with artful elements of Japanese culture. The residential experience now features a private courtyard complete with a fire pit and lawn game court; 24/7 onsite fitness center with access to outdoor courtyard; stylish whiskey lounge-inspired lobby and renovated corridors; spacious guestrooms, many of which boast private outdoor balconies with expansive views; three premier spa guestrooms; small meetings boardroom with courtyard views; and a quiet, local experience for savvy travelers looking to explore the city beyond its tourist traps.
