Union Printers Home Campus

The Union Printers Home, established in 1892 by the International Typographical Union, holds a rich historical legacy as a hospital and sanatorium dedicated to serving the health needs of its members. The building's architectural charm is evident in its original woodwork, doors, travertine floors, and interior walls crafted from sandstone and white lava stone.

With a design philosophy that pays homage to this storied heritage while propelling it into the future, the Union Printers Home is poised to become a vibrant hub of collaboration and innovation around Printers Hill. This revitalized space, akin to a glass jewel box, serves as a welcoming gateway to the Union Printers Home Hotel. It embodies spectacular design, offering expansive views and gracious hospitality to guests.

The Union Printers Home Hotel will not only serve as a place of respite and healing, basking in abundant sunshine and panoramic views but also as a brilliant destination for relaxation, meetings, and entertainment. Rooted in history and enriched by unique experiences, it promises to be a magnet for all who seek to unwind and connect in an environment that seamlessly blends the past and the present on Printers Hill.
