HISTORY OF THE PALACE HOTEL
When it was originally established in 1875, the iconic Palace Hotel was the largest and most costly hotel in the world. On April 18, 1906, when the San Francisco earthquake hit, the building survived the quake structurally; however, the hotel was decimated in the ensuing fire that swept most of downtown San Francisco. The Palace Hotel re-opened its doors December 15, 1909, completely rebuilt after the devastation of the earthquake. The Palace Hotel has remained the landmark hotel in San Francisco with such timeless features as The Garden Court’s stained-glass dome with Austrian crystal chandeliers and the 1909 Maxfield Parrish painting of “The Pied Piper of Hamlin” located in the Pied Piper Bar.
SUSTAINABILITY
The Palace Hotel is committed to sustainable business practices and to reducing our carbon footprint. For years, the Palace has initiated use of new and innovative systems. It is known throughout the city of San Francisco as a leader of environmental efforts – both within the hospitality industry and the local business community. In 2015 the Palace Hotel completed a multi-million-dollar renovation. Several upgrades were made to reduce usage throughout the hotel.
