The Four Seasons Hotel & Residences is a tall building in San Francisco, California. It stands at 121 m (397 ft) (about 397 feet) high. This building is special because it's a mixed-use development. This means it has different types of spaces inside.

The Four Seasons building is located on 757 Market Street. It's close to the Moscone Center, a big convention hall. The building was finished in January 2001. It was the very first skyscraper completed in San Francisco in the 21st century.

What's Inside the Four Seasons Hotel?

The Four Seasons Hotel is a five-star hotel. It has been managed by Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts since 2001. Guests can stay in one of its 277 hotel rooms.

Luxury Living Spaces

Besides the hotel rooms, the building also has 142 fancy apartments. These are called luxury condominiums. They are located on the upper floors of the tower.

Cool Features for Guests

The hotel has a restaurant decorated with interesting artwork. There is also a large fitness center. This center is about 10,000 square feet, which is a lot of space for exercise!

How the Building Stays Stable

San Francisco can get strong winds from the Pacific Ocean. To help the building stay steady, engineers added special parts. These are called non-linear viscous dampers. They are located at the very top of the hotel tower. These dampers help to reduce how much the building sways in the wind.
