The Jay, Autograph Collection
Nestled in San Francisco’s vibrant Embarcadero neighborhood, The Jay, Autograph Collection is infused with the city’s history and ideally positioned for business and leisure travelers. From its striking architecture to its deeply considered interiors and guest rooms, the hotel honors the innovators, artists, and dreamers who have long defined San Francisco’s spirit.
At the center of The Jay, Autograph Collection’s design identity is the legacy of Ruth Asawa, the beloved local sculptor celebrated for her mesmerizing wire forms. Her influence is throughout the property in patterns, materials, and textures that invite guests to slow down and reflect.
The Jay, Autograph Collection’s creativity carries through to its acclaimed dining program by the Omakase Restaurant Group. Downstairs, Prelude reimagines Southern cooking with Bay Area ingredients, while The Third Floor and Terrace deliver sweeping city views and an elevated dining experience rooted in Northern California’s finest seasonal produce, from breakfast through late-night cocktails.
