(The city is also home to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/sanfrancisco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/embarcadero\/?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco at Embarcadero<\/a>.) Opened in 2021, 706 Mission marries historic detail and contemporary convenience in two adjacent buildings, the 1903 Aronson Building and a sleek, modern 510-foot tower, designed by Handel Architects. \u201cOur focus is on creating a sense of belonging that elevates everyday living, from the simple to the elaborate,\u201d explains Thomas. Her curated programming for residents spans everything from intimate winemaker dinners to mah-jong to tea ceremonies. A recent highlight brought acclaimed chef Michael Mina, co-founder of Pabu Izakaya, to the premises for a special dining experience. Naturally, we asked Thomas to show us around the area.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_165236\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-165236\" style=\"width: 683px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-165236\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Hi-Res-retouched-portrait_look2_0103-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Gina Thomas, director of residences, Four Seasons Private Residences at 706 Mission\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Hi-Res-retouched-portrait_look2_0103-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Hi-Res-retouched-portrait_look2_0103-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Hi-Res-retouched-portrait_look2_0103-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Hi-Res-retouched-portrait_look2_0103-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Hi-Res-retouched-portrait_look2_0103-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Hi-Res-retouched-portrait_look2_0103.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-165236\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photograph by Ericka McConnell, hair and makeup by Shawn Burke, styling by Leonardo Perez Cruz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfmoma.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>San Francisco Museum of Modern Art<\/strong> <\/a><\/h2>\r\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a lively, active place, with people constantly coming and going.
