When THC acquired the Looper, it was known as the Pensione International. It was renamed it honor of Leroy Looper, owner of the Cadillac Hotel and the key figure in the transformation of the Tenderloin into a residential neighborhood.

The Looper became THC’s first “step up hotel”. Because the hotel was long used as a tourist hotel, nearly all the rooms were vacant when we took it over and the hotel was maintained in excellent condition. It has since been legally converted to a 100% residential hotel. THC continues to maintain and upgrade this hotel to ensure residents have an affordable and safe place to live.
