Hyatt Regency San Francisco, located in the Embarcadero Center across from the historic Ferry Building, has the Guinness Book of World Records’ Largest Atrium Lobby in the world – 17-story high, and takes full advantage of it. A wall of 300,000 cascading Christmas lights in the Hyatt lobby cuts right above the rows of bare twigs and snowy pines, and creates that special atmosphere that comes only with winter holidays.

A lavish kick-off party in the famous lobby included a fashion show from Saffron Rare Threads, with designer Priya Saraswati and a constellation of her models.
