Palace Hotel

Ralston commissioned an architect to study Europe's finest hotels and make them pale in comparison. To finance his dream and its $5 million price tag, he exhausted his banking empire. Just weeks before the Palace's grand opening, he was told the Bank of California would close. The next day, Ralston's body was found floating in the San Francisco Bay. His partner, Senator William Sharon, was undeterred in fostering the dream. Centrally located downtown, adjacent to the Financial District, the Palace is walking distance to Union Square, the Cable Cars, the Embarcadero, Chinatown, the Moscone Convention Center, Pac Bell Park, Sony Metreon, Yerba Buena Park, SF Museum of Modern Art, and the Theater District.

All rooms have 14' ceilings and windows that open for fresh air. Guest rooms feature individually-controlled air conditioning and heating units, safe deposit boxes, refrigerators and hook-ups for personal computers and facsimile machines.
