Fabulous Holidays at Fairmont San Francisco
Now through January 2, 2023
Santa loves spending his holidays at the Fairmont San Francisco and so will you.
Since 1907 the iconic hotel has welcomed U.S. Presidents, world leaders and entertainment stars, and now you too can be a welcomed guest at the Fairmont’s magnificently decorated and turned into the Winter Wonderland, featuring an awe-inspiring exhibit of the giant Gingerbread House adorned by thousands of delicious See’s Candies, the hotel’s partner for the holiday’s sweet and dreamy destination, which is open free to the public.
Lovingly built with a complete edible exterior by Pastry Chef Michael Quigley and his creative culinary team, the two-story sweet adobe is 22 feet high and 23 feet wide and features thousands of home-baked gingerbread bricks and more than a ton of royal icing and candy decor. You may consider treating your family to a luxuriously exclusive and an unforgettably unique dining experience of Holiday Tea or Dinner inside the Gingerbread House for up to ten people. The visitors will be enchanted by the 23-foot tall Christmas Tree located in the hotel’s stunning lobby and showcasing the celebrated Molinari Family’s Nutcracker Collection. Make sure your cell phone’s camera batteries are charged to the max in order to capture the visit of your beautiful holiday memories at the Fairmont San Francisco.
Happy Holidays!
