Captain reported loss of Hydraulic System 1 on approach. The flight crew requested priority handling and continued to the destination airport.

Narrative

EICAS advisory message 'HYD1 LO QTY' as we were given our initial descent into ZZZ. First Officer (FO) was Pilot Flying (PF) Captain (CA) was Pilot Monitoring (PM). PM ran QRH; noticed pressure going down than EICAS CAUTION MSG 'HYD SYS 1 FAIL.' PM ran QRH unable to recover with pump ON; and let PF know to slow below 250 kts. due to gear doors. PF at time continued to ZZZ since we were in range. CA complied with QRH as well as confirmed all items with FO. Once we realized we would not have outboard breaking and steering we requested priority handling. I let Dispatch know via ACARS and Flight Attendant and Passengers. We tried calling Ops to let them know we would need tow but we're unsuccessful. Than before beginning approach CA swap with FO to become PF because of alternate gear extension. CA (PF) had to hand fly approach due to NAV 2 Failing as well. AP was unable to capture. Landed ZZZ we had to stop on Runway CA made remain seated call out; advised Tower we had no steering and had to get towed to Gate. At Gate we noticed lots of fluid from nose wheel area.
