Hotel St. Francis, San Francisco – “The City within The City” Directory of Services
Hotel St. Francis, San Francisco. This vintage fold-out Directory of Services was produced for guests of the historic Hotel St. Francis on Union Square and issued under Western International Hotels, partners in travel with United Air Lines. Designed as an in-room reference, it offers a detailed snapshot of mid-century hotel life and San Francisco tourism, combining elegant typography with period illustrations throughout.
The directory includes hotel phone listings, guest services, restaurants and lounges, shopping arcade tenants, sightseeing information, transportation and airline offices, theaters, churches, recreational facilities, and activities both inside and outside the hotel. Illustrated panels highlight Union Square, cable cars, shopping, and city landmarks, reinforcing the hotel’s long-standing slogan, “The City within The City.”
This piece works equally well as hospitality ephemera, San Francisco history, travel design, or hotel memorabilia, and displays nicely when opened.
