Room options include Double Twin XL, Deluxe King, and Junior Queen and Kings Suites and range in size from 180 to 220 square feet. "The Hotel Castro delivers a new level of high style hospitality to San Francisco's iconic Castro neighborhood," Hotel Castro's website explains. The interior will be designed by Jon de la Cruz ( de la Cruz Interior Design), who also designed Divisadero restaurants Che Fico and Che Fico Alimentari. The new four-story building was designed by local firm Cass Calder Smith Architecture with a rooftop deck and an 1,800-square-foot restaurant on the ground floor, but no formal lobby. Hotel Castro opens December 29 at 4230 18th St. Hotel Castro was then approved by the Planning Commission and the building was demolished in 2019. Hoodline first reported on property owner Gannon Tidwell's proposed hotel in 2017, on the site most recently home to Bite Me Sandwiches (and previously home to Bar Vero and La Taza). The announcement of Hotel Castro's opening comes two weeks after neighboring Italian restaurant Vico Cavone celebrated its grand opening. Reservations are currently available on the hotel's website. Hotel Castro will officially open its doors to guests on December 29. After more than four years in the making, the boutique 12-room lodge The Hotel Castro (4230 18th St.) is set to open just in time for New Year's Eve.
