The Fairmont Heritage Place, Ghirardelli Square, San Francisco
In a city full of prime real estate, the Fairmont Heritage Place, Ghirardelli Square hotel occupies one of San Francisco’s most iconic buildings. Overlooking the world famous San Francisco bay, just a short stroll from some of the cities most popular attractions, the Fairmont Heritage Place hotel sits in Ghirardelli Square, in the heart of the historic Fisherman’s Wharf.
Ghirardelli Square takes its name from America’s most famous Chocolatier family, the Ghirardelli’s, who ran their confectionery empire from this spot until the 1960s. Since then the chocolate factory (parts of which date back to the 1860s) and out-buildings have been lovingly converted into a prestigious complex of restaurants, shops and Fairmont’s Heritage Place, Ghirardelli Square hotel.
