Nob Hill’s Stanford Court Hotel is undergoing a $35 million renewal, and has announced that Aurea, its new restaurant and lounge, will open in October. Aurea will be located on the lobby level of the hotel, and some design elements include a Tiffany-style dome, plus sculptures, chandeliers, and a glass-encased, floor-to-ceiling “wall of wine.” The restaurant can seat up to 130, with “cocktail cubbies” that function as work areas or as dining nooks, plus there are communal tables, and there’s an alfresco dining area in the courtyard. The chef is Jeffery Surprise, who was the hotel’s sous chef in 2007, and also worked at Quince. Surprise will be sourcing the majority of produce and meats from within a 50-mile radius of the hotel. The wine list will focus on organic and California wines, featuring 40 wines by the glass, plus handcrafted cocktails made with fresh ingredients and locally produced small-batch spirits. The hotel is scheduled for completion in November 2008.
905 California St. at Powell, 415-989-3500.
