This wasn't a report on the history of the hotel, it was a quick interview with a former manager who worked his way up since 1972. A report on the hotel's 120 years would show historic photos of the lobby in 1905, and through the years. What did the rooms look like then? What do they look like at least once every decade? Show photos of famous guests through the decades, old scandals (Fatty Arbuckle's wild party where Virginia Rappe died and the publicity destroyed his career.) What did 1906 Earthquake damage do to the hotel? Photos? That would be a good report on the St. Francis's first 120 years.
Where will they display the sugar castle when the new main lobby opens by the end of this year or whenever Unite Here Local 2 workers reach a deal on a new contract?
~And we Renovated it in ( 2017-18 ) all 600 rooms .... one of the Best Union Jobs I Ever Had...~ Its is Haunted up in the Attic ... kinda Spooky up there at Night...
We stay there anytime we visit San Francisco. It is still a great hotel, beautiful, great location and here to stay!!
Thanks KPIX for this report! May I suggest you do one about the ruins of the Sutro Baths and its history?

The Compass Rose for Tea - classic. I hope the new designers don't ruin the lobby design as the last one ruined the character in trying to update it.
I WOULD LOVE TO STAY THERE WHEN I VISIT.
Wow!

Wasn't this where Ford was shot at?
On Post Street in front of St. Francis Hotel
Yes. At the side entrance. A bullet hole from one missed shot was visible for many years (patched up now).
SUGGESTION: HISTORUCAL MONUMENT PLAQUE. SI IT CAN NEVER BE DESTROYED.
Big number.
I’m sure someone somewhere in the world just turned 55.
Very depressing to see what has happened in that block.
What happened?
I LOVE MY SAN FRACISCO FAMILY!!!!
Don’t believe the Hype on line... Everything is fine... watch Dolores park in 4k to see 4 Yourself ...

Beauty view of homeless and drug overdoses 😂
The business is going down after the pandemic and its surrounding by homeless and drug addicts.I don't think this hotel will survive.
