The Fairmont Hotel is one of the city's landmark hotels. The location was featured in the ABC soap opera "Hotel" many many years ago starring James Brolin and Connie Sellica(sp?). I had friends who had their wedding here in an elegant ceremony on a beautiful sunny day.
Another famous place to stay is the Mark Hopkins hotel which is just across the street from the Fairmont. While no television shows were based here, their restaurant, Top of the Mark, boasts top notch food and great views while dining.
