Located in the converted Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory, The Fairmont Heritage Place can be found in Ghirardelli Square in the beautiful Bay Area of San Francisco. The hotel offers apartment style accommodation for those seeking luxury, and being located in the Bay it’s just a few minutes from many of the city’s attractions.
We experienced a two bedroom bay view terrace which was a contemporary New York loft style apartment with large windows and high ceilings. The lounge area had exposed brick giving the room a rustic and modern feel, there was a large fireplace, and ample lounge style seating. We loved the sound of the entertainment system which has the ability to play throughout the entire apartment, allowing you to enjoy your music whichever room you’re in.
The apartments are designed to be a home from home experience, so the kitchen is large and fully fitted with every appliance and utensil that you will need. The apartment features a large open-plan kitchen counter with breakfast style stools making it easy to cook and dine.
There are large window panels allowing you to make the most of the impressive views over the Bay from the lounge and kitchen, and a private terrace by the front door as well as the communal Mustard terrace which comes complete with outdoors sofas and a huge fire pit. The bedrooms are ample size and the two ensuite bathrooms were large and come complete with a gigantic bathtub, twin basins, and a wet room style shower.
