A hostel created for conscious travelers and a better planet

How Chapter San Francisco Began



When the pandemic hit, San Francisco fell quiet. Hotels closed, travel stopped, and uncertainty lingered. For the owner of what would become Chapter San Francisco, it was a moment to pause—and to reflect on what could come next.

Rather than waiting for things to return to “normal,” he saw the closure as an opportunity to start fresh. The idea was simple but bold: to create a space that felt more human, more sustainable, and more connected to how people live today.

That’s how Chapter was born—the name itself a reflection of this new beginning. It marked not just the next step for the property, but a personal turning point: a new chapter in hospitality, in community, and in purpose.

From that vision came Chapter San Francisco, a modern co-living space built from short to longer stays, deeper rest, and real connection. Designed with reclaimed materials, sustainable practices, and flexible living in mind, Chapter brings together global citizens—travelers, students, remote professionals, and creatives—who share a common story of exploration and growth.

Today, Chapter is more than a place to stay—it’s a place to belong. A space that celebrates new beginnings, shared experiences, and the idea that every stay can be the start of your next chapter.


Comfort that cares for the world—and everyone in it

At Chapter San Francisco, our mission is simple: to create a stay that feels good, does good, and brings people together. We believe travel should leave a positive impact—on the planet, on the community, and on every traveler who walks through our doors.

Our bunks and cabins are crafted from reclaimed and recycled materials, reducing waste while offering the comfort you deserve. With energy-conscious operations, thoughtful shared spaces, and a welcoming atmosphere, Chapter is designed for guests who value sustainability without compromising rest, privacy, or connection.

We’re a social, tech-forward, non-party hostel that embraces community spirit while maintaining peaceful spaces to recharge. Whether you’re staying for a few nights or joining our co-living program for an extended stay, you’ll find a home that blends environmental responsibility with modern comfort—right in the heart of San Francisco.
