San Francisco's world-renowned Fairmont Hotel presents an awe-inspiring picture of the historic and ultra- romantic City by the Bay. Centrally located to the financial district, Union Square's swank shopping and nightlife, and the famous Fisherman's Wharf, this home to presidents, the city's elite and movie stars sits at the only spot where each of the cable car lines meet. Known as the "Queen of Nob Hill," this 1906 landmark marble palace offers panoramic views of the city, San Francisco Bay and beyond, as well as magnificent Grace Cathedral across the street.
Tourists, celebrities, heads of state and locals make pilgrimages to view the famous facade, the Corinthian marble columns, gilded-relief ceilings - and the former nightclub where Tony Bennett first crooned, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco." The hotel also includes full- service gym, beauty salon, business center, and shops ranging from a jade gallery to a cigar humidor.
Guests can indulge in fine dining at the hotel's Laurel Court Restaurant, which features contemporary Northern California cuisine and rare wines. The famed Tonga Room and Hurricane Bar serves Pacific Rim cuisine, such as Kung Pao chicken and stir-fried Maine lobster, spiced with tropical drinks. Guests can engage in happy hours featuring full appetizer buffets and live bands on a pool's floating island.
Cozy and quiet guestrooms are splashed with royal blue, gold and ivory, and come complete with Asian antique reproductions, rose-marble baths, premium linens, down pillows, high- speed Internet access, bathrobes and safes.
With panoramic views from high atop Nob Hill, the Fairmont Hotel holds an unmatched blend of elegance and superb service for unforgettable stays.
