sands. When the flames swlrled fierceIy
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 dnishings and furnishings of its in

structed is evidenced by the fact that it
came out of the stress and trial of both
lire and its accompaniments without
single injury other than the complete
| destruction of everything 1ntlammable
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
nlture, and the magnificent appoint
ments of the house as it stands today
| speak well 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
2lst of April, 1907, the doors were

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
cisco, the Fairmont stands monument
to the energy and determination of her
citizens.
A Wonderful Hotel
In it San Franciscans have a hotel
of which they can justly be proud, as
in the matter of location, it stands
absolutely unsurpassed in the world. In
the matter of appointments, service, and
exclusive features which make hotel
life pleasant, it is without peer. The

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.
Marvellous Outlook.
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 flor
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 sky-serapers are rising in
place Of the old style business houses
which were destroyed.
In the Center of the City.
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.
Unique Among the Worlds Hotels.
The Fairmont Hotel differs from al
most any similar institution in the num-
Der of unique features which it offers
for the entertainment of it's 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 old site
on Market street. was one of the most
famous hosteleries of the world, and
entertained guests of all nations, so the
Fairmont, under the same management
which so adequately took care of the
affairs of the Palace. is most eosmo
politan, and in its halls will be found
the experienced travellers from every
country of the world.

Unequaled Entertainment Features.
The ball room of the Fairmont Hotel
is one of the most beautiful, as well as
one of the largest, in existence. 1t has
one of the few spring floors to be found
in the country, making dancing pecu-
liarly delightful. 1t is decorated in
white and gold, with hangings of blue
satin tapestry. It's walls are covered
with mirrors, between which are decora-
tions by the most famous mural artists
of the world And the ballroom is not
merely an ornament. San Franciscans
are very sociable people, and the rec
ords of the ballroom show that it is
occupied an average of three times
week during the social season. Behind
it is the famous red banquet room,
which has, perhaps, held more distin
guished company than any other room
of its kind west of Chicago. On the
floor below is the magnificent Norman
Cafe banquet room, a hall of superb
proportions and simple grandeur. 1t is
the best illustration of a hall of the
Norman period. Even the tesselated
floor is made of special design, char
acteristic Of the Norman times From
the lofty ceiling hang chandeliers OF
quaint design, made of hand-wrought
iron in Paris especially for this room.
The long French windows, which cover
the entire north side of the Norman
Cafe, open on the terrace, a broau,
tagged promenade, which overlooks the
Bay of San Francisco and the city.
Upon special occasions of large enter
tainment, the terrace is canvassed in,
making another hall, almost as large as
the Norman Cafe itself. On warm days
the terrace presents an animated scene,
reminding one largely of Paris or the
embankment in London. Here partles
of convivial spirits gather around the
tables where lunch is served in the open
air, overlooking the most beautifui
panorama of mountain and sea.
Numerous Dining Places.
Another thing for which the Fair
mont Hotel is noted is the number and
variety of its different dining places.
In them one may find a place to dine
as suits his convenience. The Laurel
Court, which is Immediately behind the
lobby, offers a convenient grill for
ladies and gentlemen. Further ON is
the main dining salon, with accommoda-
tions for three hundred people. This
room is done in white and gold with
silken tapestries. From it's windows,

Epitome of Hotel Excellence.
The Fairmont, as it stands today, in
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 10
evident the moment one enters the
doors of the Fairmont. For the Palace
Hotel spirit of hospitality enfolds one
like 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.
Only hotel in the world in which
every room has bath.
The Fairmont Hotel offers to the
traveller all the conveniences and luxu-
ries known to tie 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 dainty
white-tiled bath; or, for as low as ten
dollars, a suite of rooms. Visitors to
San Francisco may rest assured that at
the Fairmont Hotel they will find only
the best of accommodations and service.
