Completed in 1986, the 345 California Center tower is the fifth-tallest in the city, at 211.8 m (695 ft).

The hotel opened in 1986 as the Mandarin Oriental, San Francisco. In February 2015, the hotel was sold to Loews Hotels [4] and renamed the Loews Regency San Francisco. [5] In May 2019, Loews sold the hotel to investment company Westbrook Partners. [6] The hotel closed for renovations at the end of 2019, [7] and the Four Seasons Hotels group assumed management, renaming it "Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco at Embarcadero" (although the Embarcadero runs several blocks away from the building). [6] The hotel was originally set to reopen on May 1, 2020, [8] but the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic forced the opening to be postponed to October 1, 2020,. [9] As the pandemic quickly worsened, the newly opened hotel soon closed again, on December 20, 2020. [10] It reopened on June 16, 2021. [11]
