Welcome to the history
of hospitality & lodging overview...
1830 to 1875 The Palace in SF
Between 1830 and 1875 many great hotels had been built not
only on the American East Coast. To name just a few; Chicago had the Grand Pacific,
The Palmer House
and The Sherman House. St Louis had The Planters and Omaha had the Paxton.
Out
West, during the gold rush days, in San Francisco The Palace was built at a price of an incredible 5 million
dollars as one of the most ornate and expensive hotels of its days. The Palace
opened in 1875, had 800 rooms and covered 2.5 acres in the heart of the City.
With
the building of fancier and more and more expensive hotels the prices for rooms
went up too. Lodging which once was affordable for every one now divided guests
into classes; the rich people's hotels and regular lodging.
