The Palace Hotel - historical building with guest and staff anecdotes

The Palace Hotel, originally opened in 1875 and rebuilt after the 1906 earthquake, is noted in local guidebooks and press articles for anecdotal reports from guests and staff of unexplained sounds, fleeting figures, or sensations in some historic areas of the property. These stories appear in historical hotel write-ups and San Francisco ghost-tour literature that link the hotel's long occupancy and past events to personal testimonies. Such reports are treated as folklore and personal testimony rather than empirically proven events.
