The famed Power Breakfast was first established in New York and is now a storied institution that attracts top professionals and celebrities to the Loews Regency New York.

"The Loews Regency San Francisco coupled with the iconic Loews Regency New York allows us to develop a new brand that really concentrates on customers looking for an intimate luxury experience," said Jonathan Tisch, Chairman of Loews Hotels & Resorts. 

Located in the heart of San Francisco's Financial District, the Loews Regency San Francisco is situated on the top floors of San Francisco's third-tallest office building, showcasing uninterrupted views of San Francisco and its bay.  The hotel features 155 guest rooms, the Brasserie S&P restaurant, over 5,000 square feet of meeting space and a new 8,000 square foot spa and fitness center.
