International Information
The Handlery Union Square Hotel is built on a family history of genuine hospitality dating back to 1928. Located in the heart of San Francisco, the Handlery Union Square Hotel continues to provide the highest level of service, treating visitors like family.
In 1948, rooms at the Stewart Hotel on Geary Street went for $4.00 a night and many a guest had to share bathrooms at the end of the hall.
In August of that year, our founder, Harry Handlery, purchased it and began renovations, converting three small rooms into two large rooms with private baths. In 1964 Harry's son, Paul Handlery, built the Handlery Motor Inn on O'Farrell Street with a beautiful courtyard, featuring San Francisco's first downtown, outdoor heated swimming pool.
In 1987, Harry's grandson, Jon Handlery, officially combined the two properties into the Handlery Union Square Hotel. As part of a full back-to-back $10 million renovation directly behind the Hotel Stewart, he connected the two hotels via the courtyard.
Today, the 377-room hotel's day-to-day operations are overseen by the third generation of Handlery -- Jon Handlery, Senior Vice President and General Manager.
