The complete renovation of this luxury hotel's 360 guestrooms and suites, entrance, lobby, reception, meeting rooms, hotel cocktail bar and restaurant
Nestled in the heart of San Francisco, The Jay SF Hotel experienced a com-prehensive top-down renovation under the innovative helm of AXIS Architecture + Design. The project was a meticulous reimagining of the hotel’s public spaces, 360 guest rooms, ground floor restaurant, bar, and the unique 3rd-floor terrace. Our collaboration with interior designers Avro | Ko infused the redesign with a Warm Brutalist style, marrying raw authenticity with inviting warmth. The revitalized lobby welcomes guests into an atmosphere of modern luxury, while the restaurant and bar offer an elevated dining experience. Every de-tail, from the textures to the tones, reflects a harmonious balance between robust Brutalism and welcoming warmth, creating a distinctive ambiance unique to the San Francisco hospitality landscape. The transformation of The Jay SF encapsulates AXIS’s commitment to architectural innovation and elevates the guest experience to new heights.
Proudly, The Jay Hotel was a 2024 Gold Key Award winner for Best Hotel – Upscale, and Best Hotel Lobby – Upscale, as awarded by Boutique Design Magazine.
