The Palace Hotel in San Francisco opened on October 2, 1875, as the largest and most luxurious hotel in the Western United States.


The Original 1875 Hotel

* Built by visionary banker William Chapman Ralston, the 755-room hotel featured grand carriage entrances and innovative "rising rooms" (hydraulic elevators).

*

* It quickly became a premier social and political hub in San Francisco.

*


The 1906 Disaster and 1909 Rebuild

* The great 1906 San Francisco earthquake and subsequent fires destroyed the original building, leaving only its burned-out steel superstructure.

*

* A completely rebuilt, grander Palace Hotel reopened in December 1909, featuring the world-famous Garden Court with its massive glass dome and Italian marble columns.

*


Landmark Events and Modern Era

* In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson gave a famous speech in the Garden Court supporting the League of Nations.

*

* The hotel hosted a major celebratory banquet for the founding sessions of the United Nations in 1945.

*

* Following major restorations in the late 20th century and acquisitions by Marriott, the hotel continues to operate as a historic luxury landmark downtown.
