Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar (Fairmont Hotel)

The Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar opened in 1945 on the fourth floor of the Fairmont Hotel and is a noted example of mid-20th-century tiki bar design. The room features a central lagoon with a floating bandstand and an indoor simulated 'storm' effect that includes rain and thunder. It has been a continuous nightlife destination and a distinctive element of San Francisco's cocktail and hospitality culture.
