About The Fairmont Hotel San Francisco
The Fairmont Hotel San Francisco, built in 1907 and a member of Historic Hotels of America® since 2001 was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. Historic Hotels of America is the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation® for recognizing and celebrating the finest historic hotels across America. Celebrated architect Julia Morgan designed the Beaux-Arts-style Fairmont Hotel and was preparing for its grand opening when San Francisco suffered a devastating earthquake on April 18, 1906. The hotel survived and one year later opened its doors to celebrate the re-birth of this great city. From its setting atop Nob Hill, the hotel enjoys spectacular city views and a long history in the spotlight. It was here in 1945 that delegates met to draft the United Nations Charter. Every president since William Taft has been a guest, and in the ornate Venetian Room, Tony Bennett first sang his signature tune, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco."For Price Match Guarantee and Special Offers please visit, please visit HistoricHotels.org.
