Description - The Fairmont Hotel San Francisco California

Host to presidents, the city's elite, and movie stars, this marble palace was completed days before the devastating 1906 earthquake and was the first hotel in the city to re-open in 1907. An $85-million restoration in 2001 stripped away years of heavy design to reveal the grand Fairmont of architect Julia Morgan's original vision. Tourists, celebrities, heads of state, and even locals make pilgrimages to San Francisco to view the famous facade, the marble columns and the gilded-relief ceilings.

The six-story main building and 23-story tower contain a full-service gym, a travel agency, a beauty salon, a business center, a tropical Tiki lounge with an island in the middle of a pool, shops ranging from a jade gallery to a cigar humidor, and chief concierge Tom Wolfe, founder of the prestigious Les Clefs d'Or association in the United States.

Given its illustrious history, it's worth spending an afternoon exploring the hidden treasures of the Fairmont itself: A room just off the lobby was the spot where the United Nations Charter was drafted in 1945; the Venetian Room, once the city's foremost supper clubs (now a private event space), played host to Nat King Cole and Tony Bennett, and was the place where Bennett first sang "I Left My Heart in San Francisco"; downstairs, the colorful Deco Cirque Room was the first bar to open in San Francisco after Prohibition; and the hotel's famous Penthouse suite served as home to every U.S. president since William Howard Taft.
