The Suite

Spanning the entire eighth floor of Fairmont San Francisco, the Penthouse Suite feels less like a hotel room and more like a dream home. While the private patio offers sweeping views of both the bay and downtown, it is the interior that truly steals the spotlight. The enchanting double-level library, with its vast collection and intimate atmosphere, invites moments of quiet reflection. The grand 14-person dining room, adorned with a striking floral mural and elegant furnishings, is perfect for intimate meals or gatherings, while the opulent billiard room, with its intricate tile work and rich color palette, evokes the grandeur of Ottoman palaces. The suite’s living areas indulge every sense—plush seating, curated contemporary art, and rich wood paneling exude sophistication, while the cozy fireplace in the living room offers the perfect setting to unwind after a day of exploration. With impeccable amenities at every turn, guests are spoiled for choice, whether retreating to the luxurious bedroom with its serene map mural or relaxing with a drink in the suite’s inviting ambiance.

The Hotel

The historic Beaux-Arts property opened in 1907 – exactly one year after the Great Earthquake and subsequent fire that destroyed the city – and quickly became a symbol of San Francisco’s rebirth. As the luxury brand’s flagship, it’s seriously glamorous. The lobby is unashamedly extravagant; expect soaring columns, enormous potted plants and gilded accents at every turn. A favored spot among the rich and famous, Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole are among the stars to have graced its hallowed walls. Dining options are plentiful; be sure to grab a bite to eat and a cocktail at the Tonga Room and Hurricane Bar. Crafted by a Hollywood set designer (who else?), the focal point is the hotel’s former swimming pool which has been transformed into a ‘lagoon’.
