The Grand Hyatt San Francisco is a skyscraper hotel located half a block north of Union Square in San Francisco, California. The 36-storey, 660 room 108 m (354 ft) tower was completed in 1972, as the Hyatt on Union Square and renamed the Grand Hyatt San Francisco in 1990.
The hotel had 402 employees before the COVID-19 pandemic, dropping to 28 as of April 2021, mainly due to cancelled conventions in the city. It was closed for around half of 2020, losing about $1 million per day during that time.

A fountain by Ruth Asawa is located outside the Grand Hyatt. The basin is made of bronze and has a bas-relief with scenes of San Francisco.

In September 2024, workers at the Grand Hyatt went on strike. The strike was organized by labor union Unite Here Local 2. As of December 2, 2024, the strike remained ongoing, and is also expected to last past the upcoming holidays.
