About Hotel Bijou

Learn Our History & the Significance of Union Square

Nestled in the heart of San Francisco near Union Square, Hotel Bijou is more than a boutique hotel—it’s a celebration of the city’s vibrant past and cinematic spirit. Housed in the historic building at 111 Mason Street, our hotel occupies a space that has been part of San Francisco’s evolving story since 1914. Originally built during a time of great urban growth, the structure served for decades as home to bustling retail shops and offices, reflecting the city’s dynamic commercial heartbeat.

Today, that same building has been thoughtfully transformed into Hotel Bijou, where 1920s art-deco elegance meets contemporary comfort. From cinema-themed rooms that pay homage to San Francisco’s storied film history to modern amenities like free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and concierge service, every detail is designed to offer guests a one-of-a-kind experience. We're also pet-friendly, welcoming four-legged travelers under 25 pounds.

With its prime location steps from the Powell Street BART station, Hotel Bijou places guests in easy reach of Union Square, San Francisco Centre Mall, local dining, and cultural landmarks. Whether you're here for business, a romantic escape, or your own city adventure, Hotel Bijou invites you to enjoy San Francisco through a lens of historic charm, neighborhood energy, and unforgettable style.
