The Hugo Hotel was a building in San Francisco's South of Market district built in 1909, designed by Theo W. Lenzen. It was located at 200-214 Sixth Street. Gutted by fire in 1988, Hugo Hotel was notable for being held vacant by the owner for 26 years, and for being the site of the Defenestration of Furniture art installation created in 1997 by local artist Brian Goggin. The San Francisco Redevelopment Agency took the owners to court in 2008. In 2009, the building was acquired by the City and County of San Francisco under a rare claim of eminent domain for $4.6 million. It was finally razed in 2015 to make way for affordable housing; in 2017 the Bill Sorro Community, an apartment house for low-income residents, was completed at the site.

Barbary Coast cannabis lounge
The Barbary Coast Collective lounge on Mission Street in San Francisco, California is the first Amsterdam-style coffee shop allowing on-premises cannabis consumption for any adult in California since January 2018. It is perhaps the first in the United States. Its interior "resembles a steakhouse or upscale sports tavern with its red leather seats, deep booths with high dividers, and hardwood floors". Its owners include David Ho, described as a "political power player in Chinatown". In opening another Barbary Coast Collective establishment, the first dispensary in the Sunset District, Ho had to negotiate with fellow Chinese-American citizens of the district who were opposed to cannabis businesses and cannabis advertising.
The lounge features quartz glass appliances for dabbing cannabis concentrates and a "combustibles" smoking area for other products.
High Times listed Barbary Coast as one of San Francisco's top 10 dispensaries and said its "old-school" ambiance was "what happens when cigar bars are actually cool". It employed about 20 people in 2017. Los Angeles Times called it "probably the best known" lounge in San Francisco, the city which "set the standard" in the United States.
