Fairmont Heritage Place Ghirardelli Square 

All-suite accommodation in a sweet location

Fairmont Heritage Place gives its famed old chocolate factory building a big dose of stylish city vibes. Get those San Francisco native feels in luxury loft-inspired suites in a gorgeous waterfront spot with beautiful Bay views.

With some of the best bits of the city on your doorstep, The Fairmont’s 53 apartment-style suites give you the space and comfort of a private residence with the perks of concierge and a luxury brand. Come here for on point living like a local, albeit it one with some urban edge who has nested on the waterfront. This stately brick and timber 19th-century building was once a Ghirardelli chocolate factory and is now part of a fun and funky square home to chocolate and cheese shops, seafood restaurants and an awesome small batch beer pub. Inside, it’s all caramel and coffee hues, exposed brick walls, high ceilings and maple wood floors.
