The Palace Hotel (original 1875, rebuilt 1909)

The Palace Hotel originally opened in 1875 as one of San Francisco’s grand hotels, was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire, and was rebuilt and reopened in 1909. Its Garden Court is a skylit, domed interior space that has been a focal point of the hotel through multiple restorations. The site exemplifies late 19th- and early 20th-century civic and hospitality infrastructure tied to the city's commercial core.
