The Fairmont Hotel
Penthouse Suite
$10,000 per night
The
6,000-square-foot Penthouse Suite at the Fairmont Hotel on San Francisco's Nob
Hill takes up the entire eighth floor of the hotel and has three bedrooms, a
dining room that holds 50 people, an eat-in kitchen and a two-story, domed
library with a ceiling painted with the constellations. There is also a
billiards room covered floor-to-ceiling in Persian tiles, and four fireplaces
inlaid with lapis lazuli. The bathroom fixtures are made of 24 karat gold, and a
secret passageway is concealed behind the bookshelves on the library's second
floor.
Famous guests who have used the
suite include former Secretary of State Edward Stettinius, who used the
Penthouse Suite in 1945 as his temporary headquarters when the United Nations
charter was being drafted, and Sean Connery, who received a memorable onscreen
haircut here in the 1996 action thriller The Rock.
