The Westin St. Francis

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – OCTOBER 2, 2025 The Westin St. Francis, a celebrated San Francisco landmark since 1904, has introduced two beautiful new outdoor event spaces: the North and South Terraces. Located on the exterior of the hotel's historic Landmark Building nestled between the original north and south wings, these unique spaces offer sweeping views of Union Square and the beloved cable cars, creating an unforgettable setting in the heart of the city.

The addition of the Terraces enhances the hotel's standing as one of the city's most sought-after destinations for events and celebrations. With more than 56,000 square feet of flexible space across 36 meeting rooms in the Landmark and Tower buildings, The Westin St. Francis seamlessly blends historic grandeur with modern luxury, now with the added beauty and flexibility of open-air elegance.

“The Terraces offer a remarkable perspective of San Francisco,” says Elaine Clancy, Director of Sales and Marketing at The Westin St. Francis. “Blending the grandeur of historic architecture with an open-air setting that overlooks Union Square, they provide an experience found nowhere else in the city. We are delighted to welcome guests and event planners to discover these extraordinary venues.”

Both spaces feature a pergola equipped with built-in heaters, making them suitable for year-round use. Decorative elements can be suspended overhead, allowing for full customization and a festive atmosphere.

  • The North Terrace offers 1,216 square feet of space and can accommodate up to 100 guests. It is ideal for cocktail receptions, wedding ceremonies, and elegant gatherings.
  • The South Terrace spans 826 square feet and can welcome up to 90 guests, making it perfect for more intimate affairs and stylish pre-function events.

Connecting the Terraces is the newly refreshed Union Square space, comprised of 1,888 square feet that can host up to 160 guests for a reception-style event. The seamless flow between the spaces allows for effortless transitions from outdoor cocktails to dinner and dancing indoors or a reception for 250 guests
