FAMILY-OWNED & OPERATED
Handlery Hotels has become a trusted name in hospitality for more than eight decades. Since its founding more than a century ago, the Handlery Union Square Hotel has been owned and operated by just two families. The Handlery Union Square Hotel, along with its sister property, The Handlery Hotel & Resort in San Diego, is one of California�s premier family-owned hotels. The renovations at the property have renewed that original vision. With the unveiling of multi-million dollar improvements at both properties, the Handlery Hotels story continues to evolve.
