Fairmont San Francisco, San Francisco, California, USA
Fairmont San Francisco
The grand dame of San Francisco’s hotel scene, the Fairmont reigns supreme high on Nob Hill, boasting 360 degree views of the city skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge harbour and the rolling Californian hills beyond. Built in the early 20th century as the first hotel in the Fairmont group, the hotel structure survived the 1906 earthquake and subsequent fires, but with considerable damage and so its opening was delayed until 1907, and the hotel has remained a focal point of the city’s community and heritage ever since.
