San Francisco Hotel Preserves Historic Elegance
words & photography by David & Kay Scott
One of the pleasurable experiences of staying in a big city is exploring the historical hotels . Strolling through public areas of the Plaza in New York City , the Palmer House in Chicago and the Brown Palace in Denver is great fun . Peeking in the dining rooms , checking out the fancy bathrooms and sitting a spell in the impressive lounges should be part of any big city visit .
Of all the cities in the U . S ., none offers a better selection of interesting historic hotels than San Francisco . Best known for the Mark Hopkins and Fairmont , both perched on Knob Hill , the City by the Bay is home to numerous historic hotels worthy of exploration .
The Palace Hotel ’ s 4th floor glassdomed swimming pool is one of only 3 swimming pools in city hotels .
