About Us

The Jay, Autograph Collection, San Francisco's newest luxury life-style hotel, is where new-age San Franciscans gather, find inspiration, and celebrate our city.

With a quiet but blossoming and vibrant location in the heart of the Embarcadero and adjacent to Jackson Square, The Jay, completely renovated, is an ode to classic San Francisco; peppered with bits of nostalgia, but led mostly by its modern structure and sophisticated style.

The design and offerings of the hotel are inspired by the makers and innovators who made San Francisco great.

It is a true celebration of those who shaped San Francisco.

The word "Jay" in Latin means "to celebrate", hence the name, The Jay.

Our goal is to delight our guests with the element of discovery and authentic connection to the city, it's neighborhoods and residents.

We are seeking associates who enjoy exceeding guest expectations and strive to deliver a professional and approachable level of service as a "friend-in-the-know" when it comes to engaging our luxury life-style guests.

We offer competitive benefits for all associates including a comprehensive medical plan, free employee meal per shift, discounted public transportation, all associate outings, and more.

An opportunity to help continue to grow a completely renovated and redesigned luxury destination, creating the newest jewel of San Francisco's Embarcadero/Jackson Square/FiDi neighborhood.

Oh, and we have fun, work hard and laugh a lot.

This is an exciting time in the hotel's history - you should be part of it!
