The Westin Market Street hotel in San Francisco has a new owner and a new name. LaSalle Hotel Properties purchased the 681-key property in a $350 million deal and has rebranded it the Park Central San Francisco.<\/p>\n

The property is located at 50 Third St. near Market Street. A variety of major venues, attractions and corporate offices are readily accessible, including Moscone Convention Center, Yerba Buena Gardens, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, AT&T Park and the headquarters of Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest.<\/p>\n

In a Jan. 26 statement, Bethesda, Md.-based LaSalle Hotel Properties said that it funded the acquisition with cash on hand and borrowings from its senior unsecured credit facility. Highgate Hotels will continue to manage the property.<\/p>\n

Completed in 1984, the Park Central underwent a $28.3 million renovation in 2007 and has received an additional $14 million in capital investment since 2009. LaSalle plans a normal life-cycle renovation during the fourth quarter of 2016. Guest rooms average 347 square feet, and the property provides 23,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space, including a 9,000-square-foot ballroom that can host up to 1,200 guests. The property\u2019s only restaurant, the MaSo, offers locally-sourced cuisine and an outdoor terrace and can accommodate 300 guests.<\/p>\n
