The Marker Welcomes a New Chapter for San Francisco’s Historic Curran Theatre

San Francisco, CA – February 2026

The Marker San Francisco welcomes an exciting new chapter in Union Square’s cultural landscape following the San Francisco Giants’ acquisition of the historic Curran Theatre.

A cornerstone of the city’s performing arts scene for more than a century, the Curran Theatre has long been a defining presence in downtown San Francisco. The acquisition by the Giants signals a renewed commitment to preserving the theatre’s legacy while expanding its role as a cultural anchor for the city. Located just steps from The Marker, the Curran has hosted generations of acclaimed productions, Broadway premieres, and world-class performances.

“This is a meaningful moment for Union Square and for San Francisco’s arts community,” said Brian Fenwick, Managing Director of The Marker San Francisco. “The Curran Theatre has always been part of the neighborhood’s creative heartbeat. Seeing it enter a new era under stewardship that values both legacy and innovation reinforces why this area continues to matter culturally.”

The Curran’s proximity to The Marker makes it a natural extension of the guest experience, offering visitors effortless access to premier performances, theatre nights, and cultural programming without leaving the neighborhood. For hotel guests, the revitalization of the Curran strengthens Union Square’s position as one of San Francisco’s most dynamic districts for arts, dining, and entertainment.
