From 1985-1988, San Francisco Hilton added a new 26-story tower between the original building and the 46-story tower.  As part of the $150 million project, the original also went through extensive renovation.  Read more about the project by Cahill Contractors.

The 60th Hilton Hotel, now known as the Hilton San Francisco Union Square, with 1919 rooms, is still the largest hotel in California after it opened its doors for business in 1964.
