“Today is a great moment for downtown San Francisco’s hospitality sector,” said Vann Avedisian, a Founding Partner of Newbond. “We are thrilled to complete the acquisition of Hilton Union Square and Parc 55, and to embark on an extensive capital improvement plan for the assets. These hotels, anchored in the heart of Union Square and backed by Hilton’s strong global brand, are uniquely positioned to benefit from San Francisco’s resurgence as a leading global destination, which is well underway thanks to Daniel Lurie’s leadership. That leadership was essential to us in making the investment.”

Michael Simanovsky, founder of Conversant Capital, commented, “This investment, which highlights the strengths of our partnership across capital allocation, operational expertise and structuring, is a unique opportunity to acquire and reposition two iconic hotels for the next phase of San Francisco’s recovery. We are committed for the long term with the city to further support its recovery, including a thriving and diverse lodging market."

“San Francisco is coming back, and major investments like this one show that momentum is building every day,” said San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie. “Visitors are returning, conferences are coming back to San Francisco, and it’s a good time to bet on our city. We’re showing the world: San Francisco is open for business, and we’re on the rise.”

“The partnership with Newbond and Conversant marks an exciting new chapter for the Hilton San Francisco Union Square and Parc 55,” said Chris Nassetta, president and chief executive officer, Hilton. “We are proud to be a part of the revitalization of these iconic properties in San Francisco, one of the country’s great destinations, and are confident that once completed, these hotels will deliver the highest standards of hospitality to Hilton guests from all around the world.”
