With more than 1,700 designers around the globe in 27 offices in nearly every major city, HBA is a true global company. HBA's international presence, combined with its extensive knowledge of the interior design industry, has facilitated the ability to rewrite the language of design with each new project.

creating the signature looks of today's luxury brands, independent contemporary boutique hotels, urban resorts spas, world-class residences, restaurants and casinos , HBA San Francisco was tapped to orchestrate a space that infuses cultural elements of a European castle.

HBA envisioned a design that would complement the castle’s opulent scale while reflecting the regional heritage in a refined contemporary way. In order to provide a well-coordinated product, yet appeal to discriminating luxury hotel guests, the interior design is to be rooted in a highly refined European elegance, and not a kitschy expression of medieval European elements.

The revitalized Fairmont Empress showcases a sophisticated, modern design rooted in tradition. With the goal of restoring the property back to its original elegance, HBA worked carefully to retain the hotel's authentically local historic essence and to provide moments of delight and whimsy throughout for today's traveler.

The iconic Luxury Collection Hotel is home to 292 guestrooms including 27 suites, two deluxe suite and a presidential suite; a full service destination spa; ballroom, meeting room and boardroom facilities; and five food and beverage outlets including a German-inspired beer garden.
