Construction has begun on a new Hampton Inn in the Mid-Market neighborhood. The hotel, located at 942 Mission St, a site known for formerly housing a Kink.com porn studio, will feature 174 hotel rooms distributed among 15-stories. The building will be 6-floors high along Mission Street, and 5 along Jessie Street, the rear terminus of the building, with the 15-floor tower located mid-block. A green roof will also top the Mission Street elevation. With its location near Mint Plaza and Moscone Center, the hotel is expected to be a mid-priced alternative to the pricier hotels in the area, such as the Intercontinental and the St. Regis. This is the first of 2 hotels planned to rise in the area, with 250 Fourth St having been unanimously approved by the Planning Commission recently. -Michael Conrad
