Hotel Union Square
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hotel Union Square is a boutique hotel originally known as the Golden West Hotel, built in 1913 for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. In the 1950s, the hotel was renamed the Golden State Hotel. Personality Hotels purchased the building in 1980 and opened it two years later as the Hotel Union Square.
The hotel is thought to be haunted by famed playwright Lillian Hellman who is allegedly the mischievous ghost who haunts room 207.
Hotel Union Square is one of San Francisco's first boutique hotels, located at 114 Powell Street, directly on the famed Cable Car line. The hotel is art-deco and stays true to San Francisco art-deco roots with its exposed brick walls and jewel tone accents. They play old movies in the lobby on an awesome TV in a mirrored frame & even have a suite dedicated to famed 20's author, Dashiell Hammett, who stayed there when it was the Golden West.
