Aug. 2, 2023

Trip Advisor’s 2023 Best New Hotel in the U.S. was eight years in the making for Cole Martinez Curtis and Associates, built off the history, views and wetland-inspired colors of San Francisco’s Mission Bay.

In this “In Case You Missed It Episode,” we highlight a recent article titled, “San Francisco’s LUMA Hotel Celebrates Community and History” written by staff writer Barbara Horwitz-Bennett that appeared in the July/August issue of interiors+sources and that was originally published online on July 24^th, 2023. As Mission Bay’s very first hotel and San Francisco’s first new-build hotel in more than a decade, the LEED Silver-certified LUMA Hotel’s journey to completion and opening last year was an unusually long one. Listen in as host Robert Nieminen describes how this project came together.
