In this brief narrated segment, Austin Klar highlights San Francisco’s Palace Hotel, noting its status as a nationally recognized historic landmark and its 2016 accolade as America’s best historic hotel. He outlines the hotel’s origins (built in 1875), its destruction in the 1906 earthquake and fire, and its reconstruction in 1909. Klar emphasizes the Garden Court’s architectural beauty and its role as a venue for significant diplomatic events, such as a banquet marking the United Nations’ opening session and speeches by Woodrow Wilson and Nikita Khrushchev. He also mentions the nearby Pied Piper Bar, a popular spot for pre‑show drinks, and ends with a call to follow him for more Bay Area history, concluding with a brief foreign‑language segment.

San Francisco's Palace Hotel is a nationally recognized historic landmark and was named the best historic hotel in America in 2016. The hotel on the corner of Market Street and New Montgomery was originally built in 1875 but destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire, and the building that stands there today was rebuilt in 1909. The hotel's garden court is not only incredibly gorgeous, but it's also hosted a number of historic events throughout the decades, including a banquet to signal the opening session of the United Nations and speeches from Woodrow Wilson and Nikita Khrushchev. Perhaps just as famous as the hotel is the Pied Piper Bar around the corner from the marble-clad lobby, which is a perfect place place to stop for drinks before a show or dinner in the area.
