Fodor's Review:

This landmark hotel was the world's largest and most luxurious when it opened in 1875, and its rich history is documented in the lobby, which is filled with a display of menus, photographs, postcards, and table settings. Completely rebuilt after the earthquake and fire of 1906, the carriage entrance became the beautiful Garden Court restaurant, with its 10 graceful chandeliers, and eight pairs of marble columns supporting a magnificent domed ceiling. Rooms, with twice-daily maid service and nightly turndown, have 14-foot ceilings, traditional mahogany furnishings, and marble bathrooms. The wood-paneled Pied Piper Bar is named for its delightful 1909 Maxfield Parrish mural.
