Park Hotels and Resorts, the investment firm that owns Hilton San Francisco Union Square and Parc 55 hotels, said Monday that is has ceased payments on a $725 million loan as looks to reduce its presence in the city. The hotels have nearly 3,000 rooms, combined.
In a statement, the firm's CEO, Thomas Baltimore, Jr., said that San Francisco's "path to recovery remains clouded and elongated by major challenges" including office vacancies caused by companies letting employees work-from-home, a "weaker than expected citywide convention calendar" through 2027 and "concerns over street conditions."
