absolutely unsurpassed in the world. In
the matter of appointments, service, and
exclusive features which make hotel
life pleasant, it is without peer. The
Fairmont Hotel today has capacity for
taking care of one thousand guests.
Its entertainment features are so nu-
merous and so varied that, as has hap
pened many times, as many as six diff
ferent gatherings, including banquets,
balls and public meetings, can be held
under its roof at the same time, and
under such favorable conditions that
one assembly scarcely realizes there is
any other in the house
The view from the Fairmont is such
as to make the most blase and expe-
rienced globe trotter stand in wonder
and amazement. From its windows (for
every room in this magnificent hosiery
is an, outside room) can be seen the
superb panorama of the Golden Gate,
the Bay of San Francisco, crowded with
ships from all parts of the world, the
mountains and hills of Contra Costa
County on the other side of the bay,
with Mt Diablo 80 miles to the south
east, and Mt St. Helena over hundred
miles to the northeast breaking the
skyline. In the immediate foreground
of the hotel lies the busy city, in which
new steel ky-scrapers are rising in
place of the old style business houses
which were destroyed.
Chinatown, almost entirely rebuilt in
a new and better way, is but few.
minutes walk from the door of the
hotel. BY means of the various street
car lines which pass its doors all parts
of the city, the ferries and railroad
stations. the banks and exchanges, re-
tail business and theater centers, as
well as the residence portions of the
city can be easily reached.
The Fairmont Hotel differs from al,
most any similar institution in the num-
Der of unique features which it offers
for the entertainment of its guests.
Because of these, it is easily the social
center of San Francisco; you might
say, of the State. just as the old Palace
Hotel, which is now being rebuilt on
new and greater scale at the cid site
on Market street, was one of the most
famous hosteleries of the world, and
guests of all nations, so the
under the same management
which so adequately took care of the
affairs of the Palace, is most cosmo-

Two years ago, when the fire was rag
ing at its worst, the sight of the classic
outlines of the Fairmont Hotel stand
ing out white against the black clouds
of smoke, lent hope to the anxious thou
sands. When the flames swirled iereely
about it, to many it seemed that the
last hope was gone. At that time the
Fairmont Hotel was just about TO open.
Three years of time, and more than
three millions of dollars had been spent
in the construction of the building and
the finishings and furnishings of its in
terror How well the building was con-
structed is evidenced by the fact that it
came out of the stress and trial of both
fire and its Accomplishments without
single injury other than the complete
destruction of everything infammable
to be found inside of its walls.
After the reaction of the first month
had passed, work was Immediately
commenced to rebuild and refurnish the
entire building, at cost of over two
million dollars, the work of reconstruc-
ton went on. Over a million dollars
was spent in interior fnishings and fur
niture, and the magnificent appoint
ments of the house as it stands today
speak we'll for the care and taste used
in the selection. The formal opening
of the hotel to the public took place on
the 18th of April, 1907, just one year
after the catastrophe, at which time the
Chamber of Commerce gave banquet
in celebration of the event. On the
21st of April, 1907, the doors were
thrown open to the public with splen
did reception, to which nearly all San
Francisco came.
The hotel was not fully complete at
that time. Some of the rooms on the
upper floors were not ready, but when
the Palace Hotel Company, which for,
merly operated the old Palace Hotel on
Market street, took hold, determined to |
push things through, the work went on
with amazing rapidity. Today, more
than any other building in San Fran I!
cisco, the Fairmont stands monument |
to the energy and determination of her
citizens
In it San Franciscans have a hotel
of which they can justly be proud, as

room is done in white and gold with
silken tapestries. From it's windows,
as one dimes, he may look out over the
bay and the shipping. Then there is
the beautiful grey breakfast room,
which is particularly well adapted for
private dinners, luncheons and ban.
quets In other parts of the same floor
are found the special tea and card
rooms set aside for the use of guests
who wish to entertain in less formal
way Then there are private dining
rooms, where organizations may meet
around a friendly board. On floor A
is found the crypt, one of the most
unique cafes in existence. It is in the
corner of Mason and Sacramento and
is extremely popular with the business
men of San Francisco. 1t offers a COM
Portable grill and bar for men, where
special attention is paid to the cook
ing of steaks and chops and old coun-
try dishes. The service here is swift
and efficient, and it is immensely popu
lar as a luncheon place for business
men.
The Fairmont, as it stands today, is
the epitome of hotel excellence. The
vast experience which the Palace Hotel
Company had in the celebrated Palace
Hotel has been utilized in this house.
To Colonel John G. kirkpatrick, General
Manager of the Palace Hotel Company,
was given the task of instilling into
"a brand new house the spirit of hos,
pitality which made the old Palace Ho-
tel celebrated in two hemispheres How
well he has succeeded in doing this is
evident the moment one enters the
doors of the Fairmont. For the Palace
Hotel spirit of hospitality enfolds one
ike a garment, making his visit one
of delight, his leave taking one of re-
greet, and his memory of the time so
spent one of great pleasure.
The Fairmont Hotel offers to the
traveller all the conveniences and luxu-
ries known to the best modern hotel,
together with many exclusive features,
some of which we have spoken of above.
Every room in the entire hotel has a
bath attached. For $3.50 one may thus
enjoy a pleasant room, beautifully fur.
nished in mahogany, with a dainty
white tiled bath; or, for as low as ten
dollars, suite of rooms. Visitors to
San Francisco may rest assured that at
the Fairmont Hotel they viii find only
the best of accommodations and service.
