Join the UCSF Retirees Association (UCSFRA) for a guided tour* of the Palace Hotel!
A landmark in San Francisco and a member of the Historic Hotels of America, the Palace Hotel opened in 1875 and was rebuilt after the 1906 earthquake. It has hosted countless notables including Mark Twain, Enrico Caruso, American presidents, and European royalty. Learn about its historic features such as the Maxfield Parish Pied Piper mural in the restaurant bar, the Garden Court’s soaring stained-glass dome, and, if we are fortunate, meet the granddaughter of executive chef Philip Roemer, who invented Green Goddess Salad Dressing in the 1920’s. After the tour, we can have lunch in the Garden Court for those who are interested.
