Union Square

It has been 120 years since the iconic St. Francis hotel on San Francisco's Union Square first opened its doors to the public.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Howard Mutz began working at San Francisco's St. Francis hotel in 1972. Back then, he was a busboy. From that humble beginning he worked his way up to manager and, eventually, official historian.Today, he continues to embrace new and old memories at the iconic hotel overlooking Union Square .'I had a nice note from Mrs. Carter when she was a guest of the hotel and stayed here. She just thanked me for my hospitality and taking good care of them.

I thought 'maybe I've overstepped my bounds?' Then all of a sudden she said, 'Come on up!''From superstars to everyday tourists, Mutz has built a lifetime of memories serving guests at the St. Francis and has gained a work family. Standing next to hotel manager Clif Clark, the pair symbolize the Westin St. Francis' past and future. Clark has been working to update the 32-floor hotel.
