The Story: The Fairmont San Francisco is a luxury hotel at 950 Mason Street, atop Nob Hill in San Francisco, California. The hotel was named after mining magnate and U.S. senator James Graham Fair (1831-1894), by his daughters Theresa Fair Oelrichs and Virginia Fair Vanderbilt who built the hotel in his honor. The hotel is the original in the portfolio of the Fairmont Hotels and Resorts and has been featured in many films. The Fairmont San Francisco was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 17, 2002. The hotel was nearly completed before the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Although the structure survived, the interior was heavily damaged by fire and opening was delayed until 1907. Among its attractions is the Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar, a historic Tiki bar dating from 1967. In January 2009, the Fairmont’s owners submitted plans for a condo conversion in an adjacent tower, which showed the space where the Tonga Room currently is but did not show the Tonga Room itself. No construction is planned until at least 2012. Meanwhile, a group plans to file an application to make the Tonga Room an official San Francisco landmark.
