The Fairmont, San Francisco, Calif.

America's historic hotels don't get much more atmospheric than this. When the earthquake struck San Francisco in 1906, the Fairmont on Nob Hill was nearly complete. It survived, and opened the following year. Every president since Taft has stayed at the hotel, and Tony Bennett first sang "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" in the Venetian Room. The recently renovated Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar serves up fine Asian-oriented cuisine—and a mean Mai Tai—in a rainforest décor.
