Fairmont Heritage Place Ghirardelli Square, San Francisco

The hotel occupies the former Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory and each wing is named according to its original function, such as the Cocoa Wing. These charming connotations run throughout the hotel and the rooms are extremely comfortable and tasteful, with a contemporary urban twist. The living areas are very spacious with dining tables and open plan kitchens equipped with the latest appliances, technologies and entertainment systems throughout. Whilst the one bedroom apartments suit couples looking for a romantic break, the two and three bedroom options are perfect for families looking for a home from home experience. The location of the hotel makes it extremely safe for children of all ages and the twice-daily maid services and in room laundry facilities make for stress free family travel.

Despite its proximity to Fisherman’s Wharf, Ghirardelli Square remains relatively undiscovered by the tourist masses and is now home to a number of fabulous restaurants such as Waxman’s pizzeria and Mcormic & Kuleto’s steakhouse. Breakfast is served daily in the hotel’s Club Room and all guests are invited to enjoy a complimentary ‘Wine Hour’ each evening between 5-6pm. Each apartment has a fully equipped kitchen if the local farmers market produce takes your fancy, or alternatively if you are celebrating a special occasion, ask the hotel concierge team to organise a chef to come in and cook your favourite meal.
