About InterContinental Hotel San Francisco
The InterContinental San Francisco at 888 Howard Street is a highrise hotel in San Francisco, California. The hotel is 340 feet (104 m) tall and has 32 stories containing 550 hotel rooms, operated by the InterContinental Hotels Group. The hotel is next to the Moscone West Center, completed in 2003. The hotel opened on February 28, 2008. There is a two level underground garage and a six floor podium housing hotel amenities. The InterContinental San Francisco was designed by Patri Merker Architects. It is located on the corner of Howard and 5th Streets. At night, the tower's southern facade is illuminated and visible from miles away. The curtain wall system consists of glass and metal panels. A restaurant is located at street level and a full service spa and health club with a swimming pool is located on the sixth floor. A series of terraces will provide open space areas, outdoor activities and separation from adjacent buildings allowing natural light and ventilation to reach the north side of the building. The building, with its 550 rooms, is the largest hotel to open in San Francisco since the 1,500 room San Francisco Marriott inaugurated in 1989.
