FAIRMONT HOTEL REGISTRATION FORM

The United Nations drafted its first charter in the Gold Room, site today for seated banquets of up to 550 and receptions of up to 1,000.

S0ME OF SAN FRANCISCO'S most fabulous views fill the windows of The Fairmont, which crowns the very crest of Nob Hill. Just a cable car ride away from Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, Union Square, and the Financial District, The Fairmont has been the choice of royalty, world leaders, celebrities, and every U.S. president since William Howard Taft.

Tony Bennett sang "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" for the first time in The Fairmont's Venetian Room. Twenty years earlier, the delegates of 40 countries met to draft the first United Nations charter in the historic Garden Room. In recent years, The Fairmont has symbolized the grandest of hotels in 19 major motion pictures and TV shows, including the popular TV series "Hotel."

Perhaps more than any other spot, the lobby epitomizes San Francisco's golden age of high-style hospitality. Seating areas of red-velvet banquettes and chairs-set off by the grand staircase, fluted marble columns, and soaring coffered ceilings- serve as ideal spots for impromptu meetings, afternoon tea service, or cocktails.
