Fairmont Hotel reported apparitions

The Fairmont San Francisco hotel on Nob Hill has been reported in travel articles, guidebooks, and oral histories as a site of unexplained occurrences, with guests and staff describing occasional sightings and other anomalous events in historic areas of the property. The hotel dates to the early 20th century and contains spaces rebuilt after the 1906 earthquake; accounts of haunting are anecdotal and have been included on local ghost tours and in press coverage. These stories are part of the hotel's cultural lore and are debated in terms of explanation.
