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 fercely
about it, to many it seemed that the
last hope was gone. At that time the
Fairmont Hotel was just about to open.
three millions of dollars had been spent
in the construction of the building and
the fnishings and furnishings of its in
terror. How well the building was con-
strueted is evidenced by the fact that it
came ont of the stress and trial of both

single injury other than the complete
destruction of everything 1nhammable

was spent in interior fnishings and fur

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
21st of April, 1907, the doors were

push things through, the work went on
with amazing rapidity. Today, more
than any other building in San Fran
cisco, the Fairmont stands a monument
to the energy and determination of her
citizens.

absolutely unsurpassed in the world. In
the matter of appointments, service, and
exclusive features which make hotel
life pleasant, it is without peer. The
Fa1rmont 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 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-scrapers are rising in
place of the old style business houses
which were destroyed.

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 old site
on Market street, was one of the most
famous hosteleries of the world, and
entertained guests of all nations, so the

The Fairmcnt, as it stands today, il
the epitome of hotel excellence. The
vast experience which the Palace Hotel
Hotel has been utilized in this house.
, To Colonel John c. Kirkpatrick, General
Manager of the Palace Hotel Company,
was given the task of instilling into
la 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 garment, making his visit one
|of delight, his leaye-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 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 will find only
the best If accommodations and service.

polltan, and in its halls will be found
the experienced travellers from every
country of the world.
The ball room of the Fairmont Hotel
is one of the most beautiful, as well as
one of the largest, in existence. It has
one of the few spring floors to be found
in the country, making dancing pecu-
liariy 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 a
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, hall of superb
proportions and simple grandeur. It is
the best illustration of 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, 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 parties
of eonvivial spirits gather around the
tables where lunch is served in the open
air, overlooking the most beautiful
panorama of mountain and sea.
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 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
